The Afghan Whigs

The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, originally active from 1986 to 2001. They have since reformed. At their peak, the group – with core members Greg Dulli (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick McCollum (lead guitar), and John Curley (bass), as well as various drummers (including Steve Earle and Michael Horrigan) – evolved into one of the leading groups of 1990s alternative rock, rising up around the grunge movement but ultimately transcending it.

Untie the boat, and turn on the water.
I'm gone; I'm gone; I'm gone.
It's alright.
Untie the boat, and turn on the water.
I'm gone; I'm gone; I'm gone.
It's alright.

Save me a prayer, and let me over the side.
Untie the boat, and turn on the water.
I'm gone; I'm gone; I'm gone.
But, it's alright.
And, you can hold me down,
But don't you let me breathe.
Let it wash all over me.
Let it wash all over me.
They cut off my head, child and gave it away
And poisoned the people I wanted to save
And left me here dark and rolling around.
I'm gone; I'm gone; I'm gone.
But, it's alright.
