'Don't go there' I heard her say
'You can't stomach what you're gonna see'
It's down there by the water's edge
Wasted and bloated and waiting for someone else

Funny how these things come about
When you're tied to the teeth and mouth
The sound of fury, a shot of pain
There was no real reason, no gain

I can't go down to the water's edge
I didn't do it, I saw who did
Don't go down to the water's edge
They did it once, they can do it again

It ain't no secret to me
How she got there down by the stream
'Cause I'd seen her a minute before
The van pulled up and opened the door
(Oh my love)

I can't say a single word
About what I saw of her
'Cause her killers they got their friends
In familiar places, I tell you man

I can't go down to the water's edge
I didn't do it, I saw who did
Don't go down to the water's edge
They did it once, they can do it again

This ain't no ***king game
And I'm feeling so ashamed
'Cause I didn't do anything
No I didn't do anything

To stop, to stop
To stop, to stop
This from happening
I did not do anything

Don't go down to the water's edge you said to me
I didn't do it but, I saw who did, you see
Don't go down to the water's edge
They did it once, they can do it again

I swear, I swear
I swear, I swear
I didn't do a thing
I should have done something
