Water Or Gasoline Lyrics - Blackie & The Rodeo Kings

On a pencil-lead gray afternoon 

Rain makes the stray dog shine 

I got a feeling stinging like a new tattoo 

Black across my mind 

You said something while I was thinking 

A far-off dream away 

And if I dont hear you the first time 

You just turn and walk away 

Oh baby, I cant see you through the steam 

Oh baby, do you bring me water or gasoline? 

I could walk down to the Church of Christ 

Hold hands with the preacher and pray 

Or hunker on down with a hundred dollar whore 

Dolled up in orange lingerie 

But they dont know me, baby 

They dont know what Im living for 

But all my sins and my salvation 

Lead me back to your trap door 

Oh baby, I cant see you through the steam 

Oh baby, do you bring me water or gasoline? 

She looks good in a cheap straw hat 

With her long hair hanging down 

And she used to smile a lot more at me 

Before I drug her down to this town 

I aint looking for no strange angel 

No faith-healers fainting bliss 

Im just looking for a gap in the traffic, baby 

Something simple as a kiss 

Oh baby, I cant see you through the steam 

Oh baby, do you bring me water or gasoline? 

Oh baby, I cant see you through the steam 

Oh baby, do you bring me water or gasoline?
