Knife In The Water — I Sent You Up lyrics

Lyrics

Well I watched the fire in earnest
'cause I thought it would quell my pain
But the more that I saw you burnin'
The more I only felt the same
So I sent you up, but the angels turned you down
And the Devil already had you
So he turned you right back around
So I put you on the canvas
Like a prison for all time
But I couldn’t stand to see your face
Sent chills along my spine
So I sent you up, but the angels turned you down
And the Devil already had you
So he turned you right back around
So I cut you into pieces
And I threw you in the river
Now the fishes they all curse me
For the poison I deliver
So I sent you up, but the angels turned you down
And the Devil already had you
So he turned you right back around
Now your body’s in the ocean
About nine hundred miles from home
And your life it never left you
It just wants to be alone
So I sent you up, but the angels turned you down
And the Devil already had you
So he turned you right back around
