Every morning came in several pieces Assembled for the present that I never knew "American Friend" was playing on the video A message just for you. Mud and water, mud and water As far as the eye can see We've got a thousand souls of fallen angels Working at the ministry. And we've got Mother Marys That light up after midnight And murder in the first degree And changes only they can remember And people that don't want to be... just Mud and water, mud and water As far as the eye can see We've got a thousand souls of fallen angels Working at the ministry. Is it me or your imagination, This Unholy River flowing through my door We've got talent in failure and masqueraders Gathered in the parliament of misery And cover, baby! from here to Australia There for the good of you and me. Mud and water, mud and water As far as the eye can see We've got a thousand souls of fallen angels Working at the ministry.
