They went down to the river
On a warm summer night
The air was thick with the
Smell of temptation

When he said "Why don't we lay in the water
Let the water run over me"
And she grinned and she said
And she said
Now she said

"Now that's a good idea"
She said, she said
"Now that's a good idea"
She said, she said

"Now that's a good idea"
She said, she said
"Now that's a good idea"
She said, he said

He held her head high in his hands
He held her down deep in the stream
He saw the bubbles and matted hair
Mixed in with seaweed
He started to scream

Was it something I said
Was it something I said
And she said and she said
And she said, she said

"Now that's a good idea" she said, she said
"To be alone with you" she said, she said
"I've been waiting for years
And I'd rather be dead"

"That's a good idea" he said, he said

He held her down in the river
He held her down in the water
Another river of mud
Wash away those tears
He said and he said
"Now that's a good idea"

He said, "Now that's a good idea"
He said, "Now that's a good idea"
He said, "Now that's a good idea"

I saw them from the ocean
She didn't seem to mind
Didn't fight at all
She didn't fight it at all

Some things are best left alone
Sometimes I'm best left alone
And sometimes I see you in the water
At night, at night, at night

"That's a good idea" she said, she said
"Want to feel you in the water
With your hands on my head"
Push her down into the water

She said she said
"Now that's a good idea" she said, she said
"Now that's a good idea, that's a good idea"
She said, she said

Now she said, now she said
"That's a good idea, that's a good idea
That's a good idea"
She said, she said

"That's a good idea"
She said, she said
"I want to feel you in the water
With your hands on my head"

Push her down into the water
She said, she said

"That's a good idea"
She said, she said
"That's a good idea"
She said, she said

"That's a good idea"
She said, she said
"That's a good idea"
She said, she said

"That's a good idea"
She said, she said
"That's a good idea"
She, said

"That's a good idea"
She said, she said
"That's a good idea"
She said, she said

"That's a good idea"
She said, she said
"That's a good idea"
