Glory Be — Oingo Boingo

Water's flowing though my veins Nothing ever stays the same Water's flowing down my side Turn the water into wine

Where's the courage I once had Where's the strength I once possessed To stand up tall and face the music Laughing in the face of death

Here's a boy whose hands are bleeding Though he's never had a scratch Glory come and glory be Water's flowing now at last

Chorus

Like a bad dream I once had where Everyone but me knew something Walking blind through the burning fields The dead brigade is on my heels They follow me--they follow me

Water's flowing though my veins Nothing ever stays the same Flows outside for all to see Water flows through you and me

Nothing ever stays the same Water turns to wine again Drink the wine & eat the wafer Lash the skin & scream together

Chorus

Bridge

Water's flowing through me Cut me open--let me bleed Silence is golden (But) Shout it out--Shout it out--Shout

Water's flowing through my veins Nothing ever stays the same Through eyes that once were blind with passion Everything looks soft and grey Without color or rough edges Without fire to burn the skin Without pride and without reason Water turns to wine again

Water's flowing through my veins Tell me now it's all the same Tell me that it doesn't matter Tell me everything's alright

Chorus

Water's flowing through my veins Nothing ever stays the same Glory come and glory be Glory come to you and me Water's flowing through my veins . . .
