Knife In The Water - I Sent You Up lyrics

Well I watched th fire in earnest 'cause I thought it would quell my pain But the more that I saw you burnin', The more I only felt the same. So I sent you up, but the angels turned you down And the Devil already had you, So he turned you right back around. So I put you on the canvas, Like a prison for all time But I couldn't stand to see your face Sent chills along my spine So I sent you up, but the angels turned you down And the Devil already had you, So he turned you right back around. So I cut you into pieces And I threw you in the river Now the fishes they all curse me For the poison I deliver. So I sent you up, but the angels turned you down And the Devil already had you, So he turned you right back around. Now your body's in the ocean About nine hundred miles from home And your life it never left you It just wants to be alone. So I sent you up, but the angels turned you down And the Devil already had you, So he turned you right back around.
