Soundgarden - Holy Water Lyrics






Holy water on the brain
And I'm losing sleep
Holy bible on the night stand
Next to me
As I'm raped by
Another monkey circus freak
Trying to take my
Indignance away from me
Holy water is rusting me
Bloody murder is the best
I've heard her scream
Holy devil in the flesh
Some might believe
And they take thine
Majesty so seriously
It's the big lies
That are more likely to be believed
Holy water is rusting me
Damn the water if it's life
You want to drink
Mnd your mother if
It makes you feel at ease
As you're raped by another
Monkey circus freak
It's the big lies that are
More likely to be believed

    Lyrics

    Holy water on the brain
    And I'm losing sleep
    Holy bible on the night stand
    Next to me

    As I'm raped by
    Another monkey circus freak
    Trying to take my
    Indignance away from me
    From me

    Yeah,
    Holy water is rusting me
    Yeah,
    Holy water is rusting me
    Is rusting me
    Rusting me

    Bloody murder is the best
    I've heard her scream
    Holy devil in the flesh
    Some might believe

    And they take thine
    Majesty so seriously
    Cause it's the big lies
    More likely to be believed
    Believe

    Yeah,
    Holy water is rusting me
    Yeah,
    Holy water is rusting me
    Is rusting me
    Rusting me
    Yeah

    Damn the water if it's life
    You want to drink
    Mind your mother if
    It makes you feel at ease

    As you're raped by another
    Monkey circus freak
    Cause It's the big lies
    More likely to be believed
    Believed

    Yeah,
    Holy water is rusting me
    Yeah,
    Holy water is rusting me
    Yeah,
    Holy water is rusting me
    Is rusting me
    Rusting me

    Rusting me
    Rusting me,
    Yeah
    Rusting me

  45. J.... P....

    GOOD LORD!!! besides this song, and the rest of this albums vocals which are frikkin MAD!!! from 4:40 on is just plain vocal RELIGION !!! This is by far one of the absolute HEAVIEST ENDINGS to a song!!!!! Hard to believe this music is almost 28 years old...WTF???

  46. E.... S....

    badmotorfinger's anniversary today. cheers guys! the album that changed my life <3

  47. T.... G....

    Chris is God

  48. G.... X....

    Favorite on the album

  49. I.... ....

    Perfection, definitive 90s sound. Vocals are unmatched

  50. W.... Q....

    one of the greatest talents ever on planet earth . rest in peace Chris Cornell

  51. I.... U....

    I work out to this album.

    I.... U....

    Itachi Uchiha I do too!

    I.... U....

    This and Core are great albums to exercise to

  52. F.... B....

    Chris...you had everything...why???...putzillagrindhouse...219...rip...bro..bro!

  53. R.... E....

    Best song ever. By sound Garden. So is my opinion. Are you sure yes O! yes. (?)

  54. t.... w....

    RIP Chris, also Matt’s drumming on this is genius

  55. T.... 1....

    Damnnnn! I said GOD DAMMMNNNN!!

  56. L.... P....

    One of my favourite Chris Cornell tracks, love the vocal range

  57. V.... ....

    AIC and Soundgarden >>>

    V.... ....

    Yes!!! The 2 clear superior bands from this era.

    V.... ....

    Nirvana >>>>>>>>>>>>>

    V.... ....

    @Ashton Harrison nirvana is lame

    V.... ....

    Soundgarden basically spearheaded the whole Seattle scene and influenced many others, they were the most daring and experimental Seattle band. And when they went heavy they were the heaviest. They are always #1 for me. AIC is second. Never got into Nirvana or Pearl Jam much.

  58. I.... F....

    sound garden had way more in common with bands like kyuss, tool, the melvins and black sabbath than bands like nervana, pearljam, STP and AIC. AIC is sludgy/doomy as well but not in the same way sound garden was.

    I.... F....

    too good

  59. M.... B....

    RIP Chris. Such a great voice. Ridiculous, sick voice.

  60. M.... C....

    cause it's the big lies are more likely to be believed, believed

  61. L.... L....

    God! How I miss Chris !!!

  62. k.... ....

    RI Motherfucking P

  63. M.... K....

    Don't forget to check out the lesser known but just as good Seattle bands, like Gruntruck.

    Gruntruck - Gruntruck (2017 re-release)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8d52PK12_M

  64. R.... H....

    It is stupid to compare different singers because some singers don't have a variable range but they can make personable songs Chris Cornell had both qualities and he had that distorted highs in the same ranges Ronnie James Dio and Brian Johnson that unleashed the wolf and you can t always learn that skill in a school for vocals.

  65. o.... ....

    This is kinda sounds like a grunge Beatles

    o.... ....

    okbaez3, Sounds more like Sabbath with some Zeppelin thrown in xD

  66. D.... A....

    Soundgarden , is like listening to Sabbath & Zeppelin at the same time very Cool.

    D.... A....

    They both had huge influence in soundgarden...

    D.... A....

    Black SoundZeppelin?

  67. B.... ....

    So what is up with that monkey circus freak line? Can somebody enlighten me

    B.... ....

    Rocky Evans Cool man, appreciate the response. Peace

  68. F.... C....

    At 4:40 it really kicks. R.i.p. Chris.

  69. A.... S....

    Que música do caralho

  70. R.... C....

    SAMPA, 22/01/18 | 19:53. Pra sempre Soundgarden.

  71. L.... R....

    90's Grunge at its Best! There is no other and no other shall there ever be. "Rest in Peace Chris"

  72. X.... ....

    Badass song! YEEEAAAAAHHHHH HOLY WATER RUSTING MEEEEE..!

  73. B.... S....

    Of all the people in this world I never personally met, this man's death hit me the hardest by far. RIP Chris.

    B.... S....

    Weiland also hit me pretty hard

    B.... S....

    I'm right there with you man. The shit just doesn't make sense.

    B.... S....

    I understand Cornel ,Stayley, Weiland and Dimebag Darell all hit the the hardest .

    B.... S....

    And I had tickets for the week after

  74. L.... D....

    Every song with that low B is amazing.

  75. s.... ....

    Best rock and roll vocalist. Period.

    s.... ....

    I third that

    s.... ....

    He was incomparable to them all

  76. M.... ....

    this song is like being punch in the face!!!!

  77. a.... h....

    I love them I was a 90s kid I grew up with this shit between my ears courtesy of my CD Walkman tucked in my pocket haha JK no I'm serious

  78. D.... B....

    I'm a 45 year old man, lived through many decades of music. This is the greatest album I ever heard in my life! Possibly the greatest song as well!

    D.... B....

    It is the greatest album......period

    D.... B....

    The best album for sure... My personal favourite is mind riot... Though this song is mind blowing... And Matt Cameron plays like his life depends on it....

  79. R.... V....

    I poled in on this jamoke's sign in, but I'm Jackie Lyn Hurley, aka Sunni Cameron Cornell, the SoundGarden Fairie, I don't give a shit, call the cops then. I'm a hostage, and Cameron you are supposed to haul your queer ass to the Crisis Center on Lane and get me. Now do it. Fuku.

  80. R.... V....

    See, I'm just the kind of ninny to prance around in a state of complete idiocy telling people I'm married to both those queers, Cameron AND Cornell. And I do. Who gives a shit, I'm Sunni Cameron Cornell. SoundGarden Fairie. I may be done, I'm not sure. Fuku.

  81. R.... V....

    SoundGarden Fairie speaks. Not this jamoke. Who in the fuk decided to sell that stale Jello that Cornell hung himself? Nigga please, I think he'd bung Matt Cameron first, and maybe he did. I heard Cameron is a queer. Cornell, if you're dead, can you hear me? Cameron, who do you like to pound? Fuku I'm done.

  82. W.... Q....

    I love this album to death

  83. l.... ....

    This song fucking kicks ass.

    Still sad for Chris. RIP legend.

  84. S.... .....

    Your sorely missed ...RIP wherever you are Chris Cornell

  85. R.... B....

    04/18/92 the day I saw Soundgarden for the 1st time. The presence of Cornell on stage was powerful. 25 years later and no other band has come close to the power of Soundgarden. R.I.P Chris Cornell

  86. C.... D....

    Rest in Peace Chris Thank you

  87. T.... A....

    Still stings like I heard it only a minute ago. Chris... You will be missed so, so much, brother.

  88. L.... S....

    Chris can finally rest in peace.

  89. J.... E....

    My personal favorite song, "RIP Chris" your lyrics helped me through the hard years of growing up
    I love your music thank you for all the great years, I love you brother Say Hello to Heaven for me
    see you one day there ...........................

  90. A.... T....

    grande banda e uma grande voz ainda nao acredito que o crhis se foi.Nao consigo entender . Um salve para este grande homem,cantor,frontman,letrista e ser humano

  91. C.... D....

    RIP Chris. A true legend
