Bath Is Black Lyrics by Marika Hackman

That Iron Taste

2013

Even though you think
To push me from the bath into the sink
I can still get clean
From everything obscene

So just pass me the soap
And I will scrub so hard to have the hope
That one day, I'll be free
And flies won't follow me

'Cause if the bath is black and the soap is old
You're turning the hot tap, but the water is cold
Try as you might everything you've done has been washed out
And you're not coming home to—

All this mess, undress
I'll put you to the test, just try your best
Put your apron on
I feel it's been too long

Since you last made me laugh
Instead my hands are stuck to you with tar
And I can't get them off
I'll leave prints on the cloth

'Cause if the bath is black and the soap is old
You're turning the hot tap, but the water is cold
Try as you might, everything you've prayed for
Won't be done until you've paid for all your hours

And you're not coming home tonight
You're not coming home
Tonight, you're not coming home

To all this mess, undress
I'll put you to the test, just try your best
To all this mess, undress
I'll put you to the test, just try your best
To all this mess, undress
I'll put you to the test, just try your best
To all this mess, undress
I'll put you to the test, just try your best

'Cause if the bath is black and the soap is old
You're turning the hot tap, but the water is cold
Try as you might, everything you—
Try as you might, everything—

If the bath is black and the soap is old
You're turning the hot tap, but the water is cold
Try as you might, everything you've prayed for
Won't be done until you've paid for all your hours
And you're not coming home tonight
