Heavy Water - Jethro Tull

I walked out in the city night

A burning in my eyes, like it was broad daylight

And it was hot, down there in the crowd

The stars went out behind a thunder cloud

Chatter in the air, like a telegraph line

Big drops hissing on the neon sign

Thumping in my heart, and it’s hurting me to see

Smokestack blowing, now they’re pouring

Heavy water on me

She was a southern girl.

we stared man to man

I move like a stranger in this strange land

She was a round hole, I was a square peg

I watched the little black specks running down her leg

Didn’t seem to mind that dirty rain coming down ---

Shirt hanging open.

she was wet and brown

Thumping in my heart, and it’s hurting me to see

Smokestack blowing, now they’re pouring

Heavy water on me

What goes up has to fall back down

It’s no night to be out dancing in a party town

When it runs hot and it runs so wide ---

Running in the street like a thin black tide

Chatter in the air, like a telegraph line

Big drops hissing on the neon sign

Thumping in my heart, and it’s hurting me to see

Smokestack blowing, now they’re pouring

Heavy water on me
