Vertical Horizon Running On Ice專輯

2.Wash Away

An old man lying by the road
Black is night
He's got his finger on the trigger
An easy target in sight
He's got no future
No family tree
He's got a three-dollar bottle
And he drinks 'til he can't see
All night, all night, yeah...

A young girl waiting on a line
Eight a.m.
She's got a six-month-old burden
Willpower's withering thin
An unwed mother
Beaten by her trade
Each week her welfare reminds her
Of mistakes she never made
Oh, no...

Chorus:
Now what has that to say about tomorrow
What has that to show for today, yeah
Noah thought to build an ark
Before the heavens washed it all away
Away... away... yeah...

A baby crying through a dream
An afterthought
Mother is seething for pleasure
After the poison is bought
His eyes are tainted, staggered is his breath
Oh God, he's addicted
Addicted to death
Oh, no...

Chorus

Oh, no...
Now what has that to say about tomorrow
What has that to show for today
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Noah thought to build an ark
Before the heavens washed it all away
Away... away...
Alright-right-right-right-right-yeah
Oh...
