lyrics

you can feel bad
if it makes you feel better
go ahead and be mortified
but I'm not gonna wear
your sackcloth and ashes
I'm not singing a dirge
when nobody died

I don't know what it is exactly
it's not what they talk about behind their dirty hands
I don't know what it is exactly
or why it's so easy to misunderstand

cause for me it's pure as the water
can't you see it's pure as the water of life
the smallest sip of the strongest spirit
a drop in the cup
eau de vie

But you can feel shame
if it makes you feel prouder
go ahead and abase yourself
but I'm not gonna wear
your sackcloth and ashes
and I'm not a criminal myself

I don't know what it is exactly
it's not what they laugh about behind their filthy hands
I don't know what it is exactly
maybe it's too simple to understand

cause for me it's pure as the water
can't you see it's pure as the water of life
the smallest sip of the strongest spirit
a drop in the cup
eau de vie
