Bath Is Black

Even though you think To push me from the bath into the sink I can still get clean From everything obscene So just pass me the soap And I will scrub so hard to have the hope That one day I'll be free And flies won't follow me Cause if the bath is black and the soap is old You're turning the hot tap but the water is cold Try as you might everything you've done has been washed out And you're not coming home to— All this mess, undress I'll put you to the test just try your best Put your apron on I feel it's been too long Since you last made me laugh Instead my hands are stuck to you with tar And I can't get them off I'll leave prints the cloth Cause if the bath is black and the soap is old You're turning the hot tap but the water is cold Try as you might everything you've prayed for Won't be done until you've paid for all your hours And you're not coming home tonight You're not coming home Tonight, you're not coming home To all this mess, undress I'll put you to the test just try your best [x4] Cause if the bath is black and the soap is old You're turning the hot tap but the water is cold Try as you might, everything you— Try as you might, everything— If the bath is black and the soap is old You're turning the hot tap but the water is cold Try as you might, everything you've prayed for Won't be done until you've paid for all your hours And you're not coming home tonight
