"don't go there" I heard her say.

"you can't stomach what you're going to see"

It's down there, by the water's edge

wasted and bloated and waiting for someone else

funny how, these little things come about

when you're tied to the teeth and mouth

no sound or fury, no 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 it

Don't go down to the water's edge

they did it once and they can do it again

it ain't no secret to me

how she got there down by the stream

I'd seen her a minute before the van pulled up and opened

the door (took all my love)

but I can't say a single word

about what I saw of her

her killers...they got their friends

in familiar places, I tell you man

this ain't no fucking game

and I'm feeling so ashamed

because I didn't do anything

I didn' do a thing

I swear
