Well, I swear last night
Baby, I rose another yard
Yeah, I swear last night
Baby, I rose another yard
Did you ever think
That you'll ever need?
By the evening
You'll want the national guard
'Cause I'm wild and lethal
A mile deep, though
There ain't no bank that
Can hold me back
I'm wild and lethal
A mile deep, though
A river runs over
Whatever it wants
Shootin' the breeze, baby
Just like a common thief
We just shootin' the breeze now, baby
Just like a common thief
I get you everything you ever need
But by this evening
You're gonna want some relief
'Cause I'm wild and lethal
I'm a mile deep, though
There ain't a bank that
Can hold me back
I'm wild and lethal
I'm a mile deep, though
When a river runs it
Goes wherever it wants
And I'm wild
Baby, I'm already
Way up to your knees
Get your sandbags
Go on, call your police
Do you no good!
I'm wild and lethal
I'm a mile deep, though
There ain't a bank that
Can hold me back
'Cause I'm wild and lethal
I'm a mile deep, though
There ain't a bank that
Can hold me back
Yes, I'm wild and lethal
I'm a mile deep, though
When a river runs,
It runs wherever it wants
I'm flowing down
