Holy water

What can break the heart of a fairground boy?
What can break the heart of a fairground boy?
Make his thoughts as pure as money?
Write a name across his skin?

Holy water
Let it all come down
Holy water
Let it all come down

What can touch the soul of doctors, priests and thieves?
What can touch the soul of doctors, priests and thieves?

Holy water
Let it all come down
Holy water
Let it all come down

Beauty queens and presidents turn away in shame
As strange as winter
As cruel as a train
As cruel as a train

Oh...

What can put acid and gold into your dreams?
What can put acid and gold into your dreams?
Burn a hole through heaven
Bring it all down here

Holy water
Let it all come down
Holy water
Let it all come down
Holy water
Let it all come down
Holy water
Let it all come down
