Dirty Water (Extended Version) Lyrics

[Intro]
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)

[Verse 1]
I swear I've seen your face before
It peered inside my open door
I should have played this game before
Played a little bit now then later more

[Pre-Chorus]
Angel, angel
Ring them bells
Ring them bells
Something is wrong, it doesn't belong
And it's not natural to sing that song

[Chorus]
And if I wash my hands in your dirty water
Will your religion make me clean
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
And if I wet my feet in your dirty water
Will I be blind for all I see

[Verse 2]
A lover would be more concerned
When I needed you your head was turned
It seems like you do what you can
To make me feel a guilty man
[Pre-Chorus]
Angel, angel
Ring them bells
Ring them bells
Something is wrong, it doesn't belong
And it's not natural to sing that song

[Chorus]
And if I wash my hands in your dirty water
Will your religion make me clean
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
And if I wet my feet in your dirty water
Will I be blind for all I see

[Bridge]
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)

[Chorus]
And if I wash my hands in your dirty water
Will your religion make me clean
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
And if I wet my feet in your dirty water
Will I be blind for all I see
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)

[Outro]
And if I wash my hands in your dirty water
And if I wash my hands in your dirty water
And if I wash my hands in your dirty water
[Repeat to Fade]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
