The wind swept the sand dunes
We taped up the doors and windows
In the dust and the darkness
Our footprints were lost
In the Garden of Eden
Our sins were worth repeatin'
Now I'm always pouring water
But I missed the cup
Now it seems like I spend all my time
Mopping up
The guard at the mission
Lay blind with cyclops vision
And I hid on the outside
And watched through the glass
As he slipped in among them
In a flash, his blade had undone them
And I just waited
Hoping he'd pass
Now I'm always pouring water
But I missed the cup
Now it seems like I spend all my time
Mopping up
The same old fear resurrected
My own blood would be rejected
And my love would fade before it flashed
So I raised my hand up to heaven
Now I wish that I'd never asked
Cuz I'm always pouring water
But I missed the cup
Now it seems like I spend all my time
Mopping up
