Lyrics

The water will rise, the sky will fall
The water will rise, the sky will fall
And I'm not going down with the rest of you
You don't have to believe whatever I'm saying
You don't have to pray to whoever I'm praying to
If that don't change, what's gonna happen?
And I'm not going down with the rest of you
Would you be my holy dove?
Would you be my holy dove?
'Cause I'm not going down with the rest of you
I may be crazy, and I know you're fine
Yeah, I may be crazy, yes, I know you're fine
But I've got something that will blow your mind
And I'm not going down with the rest of you
Would you be my holy dove?
Would you be my holy dove?
'Cause I'm not going down with the rest of you
In a flash, I will be gone
In a flash, I'll prove them wrong
In a flash, I'll float away to another age
Oh, would you be my holy dove?
Would you be my holy dove?
'Cause I'm not going down with the rest of you
I'm not going down with the rest of you
I'm not going down with the rest of you, ooh
(Would you be my holy dove?)
(Would you be my holy dove?)
(Would you be my holy dove?)
