lyrics

Flashflood (Water or Gasoline)

(Kevin Gordon/Colin Linden)

It's a pencil-lead-gray afternoon

Rain makes the stray dog shine

I got a feeling stingin’ like a new tattoo
Black across my mind

You said something while I was dreaming
Some far off world away

If i don’t catch it the first time

You just turn and walk away

Oh baby, pull me through the mud
Oh baby, can't see you through the flashflood

I could park my car at the Church of Christ
Hold hands with the preacher and pray
Or hunker down with a hundred-dollar whore
Dolled up in orange lingerie

But they don’t know me baby
They don’t know what i’m lookin' for

All my sin and my salvation
Lead me straight back to your trap door

(chorus)

She looks good in a cheap straw hat
With her long hair hangin' down

She used to smile a lot more at me
Before I drug her down to this town


(chorus)
