Help me preacher, coz I'm not the one
I've done some things I should never have done
Forgive me Jesus, coz I never went to church
But with all the pain and suffering, I questioned your word
Help me lover, coz I know I let you down
You were calling out for help and I just watched you drown
Well, I drank all my whisky, then I drank all your wine
Then gave it up forever, 'til the next time
I need some holy water
Need it raining down on me
Give me some holy water
Just a drink and I'll be free
Well, I spent all my money, trying to make myself rich and I held onto hope until I lost my grip
The devil forced my hand when I took another sip but I just kept on drinking 'til I made myself sick
I need some holy water
Need it raining down on me
Give me some holy water
Just a drink and I'll be free
I'm sorry preacher but your voice means nothing now
Your words are just excuses for the way it all turned out
Forgive me father for the multitude of sins
Surely even you can see the devil always wins
I need some holy water
Need it raining down on me
Give me some holy water
Just a drink and I'll be free
Help me preacher, coz I'm not the one
I've done some things I should have never done
