Dead Batteries

[Verse 1]
Put your hands down
Put 'em in the water
Wash the ways that are wicked
And love your daughter
Marvel at the grief she holds

[Refrain 1]
And I wonder
What goes on under
Her various demons
Dig up the seeds and the dead batteries

[Verse 2]
Put your head down
Under the water
Scratch your name on the sewer
And forgive your father
Marvel at the grief he holds

[Refrain 2]
And I wonder
What goes on under
His various demons
Dig up the seeds and the dead batteries

[Chorus]
Lately I've been goin' home
On bridges over low waters slow
It seems to lay at the valley of a crown
At the bottom of a bell upside down

[Verse 3]
Kick your boots off
Kick 'em in the water
Sing a song of surrender
And slap your brother
Sometimes cry me a river of tears

[Refrain 3]
And I wonder
What goes on under
Your various demons
Dig up the seeds and the dead batteries

[Chorus]
Lately I've been goin' home
On bridges over low waters slow
It seems to lay at the valley of a crown
At the bottom of a bell upside down

[Outro]
Kick the water, kick it!
Kick the water, kick the water
Hey!
Kick it, kick the water, kick it
