Lyrics
Rivers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
See the sun crawling over the sky.
Keep an eye on the surf and the sea and the sand.
Don't you know every night is a stand-off with the fucking horizon!
You had a real time of it.
Staring off into the light.
Hands tied behind your back.
Steel chair giving you shivers.
You've always had a problem flowing down rivers...
See the rain falling down from the sky to its death,
Smashed on the street in despair, somewhere over there i swear!
You had a real time of it.
Staring up into the light.
Hands tied behind your head...go!
Stranded on the carousel.
A cripple from the wreck.
I was ringing a bell's neck, looking for a sign.
"three stars means i'm losing you,"
Says the night to one of her romances.
The plane lands and everybody dances, it's fine...
You had a real time of it.
Staring off into the light.
Hands tied behind your head.
Steel chair giving you shivers.
You always had a problem flowing down rivers!
You've always had a problem flowing down rivers!
