Overview
The song was originally recorded on January 2, 1993, but the only circulating version (and the official version) was recorded in July of that year. Karl has said the song was possibly never intended for Weezer, and that it seemed Rivers never quite felt satisfied with the song. The song was circulating years before it's release on Alone II, but was of very poor quality when compared to the master recording due to the tape being generated and the file being transcoded.
Personnel
- Rivers Cuomo – lead guitar, lead vocals, percussion, rhythm guitar, bass guitar, keyboard
Lyrics
<lyrics> Everybody told me And I knew it myself Don't drink the water It's bad for your health
But god, it's hot I had no choice The sun it burned down on me Even though they told me so I drink it deep, I drink it deep
Even though, we both know What we know, we can't say no The world is blind to what it finds The world is blind though the sun shines
Now I kneel Before the sacred basin And offer up The sweetest of all sin
But god, it's hot I had no choice The sun it burned down on me Even though they told me so I drink it deep, drink it deep
Even though, we both know What we know, we can't say no The world is blind to what it finds The world is blind though it shines </lyrics>
