Holy Water
Revelations of Redemption in "Holy Water" by Alice Cooper
Lyrics
I got a Top hat and a walking cane
I possess a top hat and a walking cane
I got a black cat on a golden chain
I have a black cat hanging from a golden chain
I got a white shirt with a bloody stain
Wearing a white shirt with a bloodstain
Going to the river of love
Heading to the river of love
She got long hair
Describing a woman with long hair
And big brown eyes
Emphasizing her big brown eyes
She belongs there, it was no surprise
Asserting that she belongs there, no surprise
Nothing wrong there, she made me realize
Stating there's nothing wrong there, realizing love
We're going to the river of love
Heading to the river of love together
We're going down to the river of love
Reiterating the journey to the river of love
Oh, holy water
Expressing a desire for holy water
Take me down, hold me under
Requesting to be taken down and held under
Oh, I feel the power
Sensing a powerful force
Fill my soul with righteous thunder
Asking to fill the soul with righteous thunder
I was decaying just like a cavity
Describing personal decay and depravity
Dismayed by my depravity
Expressing dismay at one's own gravity
I got waylaid by all the gravity
Being influenced by the force of gravity
'Til we went down to the river of love
Until reaching the river of love
She is an angel, her name is Tiffany
Introducing an angel named Tiffany
She's kinda strange though, but my epiphany
Acknowledging her strangeness, an epiphany
I wouldn't change you 'cause she's a gift to me
Valuing her as a gift and guide to love
And she leads me to the river of love
Following her to the river of love
We're going to the river of love
Reaffirming the journey to the river of love
Oh, holy water
Expressing the desire for holy water again
Take me down, hold me under
Reiterating the request to be taken down and held under
Oh, I feel the power
Reaffirming the sense of power
Fill my soul with righteous thunder
Repeating the request to fill the soul with righteous thunder
I look around and I see loneliness
Observing loneliness and bitter hearts
And hearts are bitter and cold
Noting the indoctrinations affecting souls
And filled with target this, the indoctrinations of a soul
Highlighting the need to overcome emptiness
To kill the emptiness you live with every night and day
Suggesting singing and reaching to overcome darkness
But I'm here to tell you well that ain't the way
Rejecting a negative path and advocating a positive one
You gotta sing it out, you gotta reach to the sky
Encouraging singing and reaching towards the sky
Until you ring it out, kiss the devil goodbye
Advising to dismiss negativity, bidding farewell to evil
You gotta wrap your arms around the woman you love
Embracing a loved one
And raise your eyes to the Lord above, yeah
Encouraging a connection with the divine
Raise 'em up to the Lord above, and say
Urging to raise eyes to the Lord and express
Oh, holy water
Repeating the desire for holy water
Take me down, hold me under
Reiterating the request to be taken down and held under
Oh, I feel the power
Reaffirming the sense of power
Fill my soul with righteous thunder
Repeating the request to fill the soul with righteous thunder
Oh, holy water
Repeating the desire for holy water once more
Take me down, hold me under
Reiterating the request to be taken down and held under
