Lyrics
What makes you sad
What makes you blue??
I'm all in rags with nothing to lose
We could traverse
And find a way through
Land in the grass
And start acting like fools

You're a prisoner by day
Is that what you choose?
Stand in the water, baby
It'll get you through tonight

Who did you razz?
Who starts the coup?
You went on a fast with no weight to lose
You said you were laying
Off of the booze
You came over drunk
To lay on the truth

You're a prisoner by day
Expecting to lose
Stand in the water, baby
It'll get you through tonight

You came in the front
To sneak back in the room
With all of your friends and all attitude
Went into a lunge
While playing it cool
You said come here close
And I'll lay on the truth

You're a prisoner by day
Expecting to lose
Stand in the water, baby
It'll get you through tonight

You're a prisoner by day
Is that what you choose?
Stand in the water, baby
It'll get you through tonight
