Call Me Crazy

HOLY WATER & WHISKEY

[Intro]
You thirsty?
Be careful what you drink.

[Verse 1]
Neon cross buzzing in the motel rain,
You’re looking for a cure to kill the pain.
You’re down on your knees, but you ain’t praying,
I know exactly what that silence is saying.
Got a bible on the nightstand, dust on the page,
I’m the only religion that acts your age.
Don't ask for forgiveness, don't ask for a sign,
The devil’s just a dealer, and baby, I’m the wine.

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to be an angel, but the wings were too tight,
I prefer the shadows to the blinding light.
So go ahead, judge me, put me on trial—
I’ll burn down the courtroom with a gasoline smile.

[Chorus]
It’s Holy Water and Whiskey,
One saves your soul, the other makes you dizzy.
Mix ‘em in the glass, swallow down the shame,
Yeah, Heaven hates my halo, but you love it just the same.
It’s a bitter benediction, a beautiful wreck,
With my lipstick like a scar right on your neck.
Holy Water and Whiskey…
(God, it tastes so risky.)

[Verse 2]
Tell the preacher man he can keep his pew,
I’m teaching you a sermon that feels brand new.
Confess to the mattress, confess to the dark,
Every touch I give leaves a permanent mark.
You say you want a saint, well, that’s a lie,
You want the kind of dangerous that makes you feel alive.
Good girls go to heaven? That’s what they sell.
But bad girls run the VIP section in hell.

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to be an angel, but the wings were too tight,
I prefer the shadows to the blinding light.

[Chorus]
It’s Holy Water and Whiskey,
One saves your soul, the other makes you dizzy.
Mix ‘em in the glass, swallow down the shame,
Yeah, Heaven hates my halo, but you love it just the same.
It’s a bitter benediction, a beautiful wreck,
With my lipstick like a scar right on your neck.
Holy Water and Whiskey…
(God, it tastes so risky.)

[Bridge]
(Die Musik bricht zusammen – nur noch Drums und ein verzerrtes Gitarren-Riff)
Burn the altar.
Break the glass.
This kind of fever,
Is built to last.
Heaven… hates… my… halo.
(And honestly? I hate it too.)

[Guitar Solo]
(Bluesig, jammernd, sexy – baut sich langsam auf zu einem Crescendo)

[Final Chorus]
It’s Holy Water and Whiskey!
One saves your soul, the other makes you dizzy.
Mix ‘em in the glass, swallow down the shame,
Yeah, Heaven hates my halo, but you love it just the same.
It’s a bitter benediction, a beautiful wreck,
With my lipstick like a scar right on your neck.
Holy Water and Whiskey…

[Outro]
Yeah, Heaven hates my halo.
Does it burn going down?
Holy Water… and Whiskey.
Bam.
