Drag The River

Drag The River :

Drag the river with a comb that you just bought

for a dollar at the drugstore on the font

If you catch a body falling star falling star

Is it anybody 'cause those has-beens don't fall far

Not like a comet shard not like a bullet shot at a passing car

Planned from the beginning from the very start

An arrow through the middle of the truest of hearts

That trick sent us into triple overtime and into sudden death

Certain inconsistencies saved us at the net

like that gentle retardation that I never will forget

I won't forget not like the time you let pass you by

like a comet in the night with its tail shining bright

a poker in the face of a dream pursuing sight

Salt sugar water and grease

run through the veins of the local police

Wide of the target and short of the mark

Like bears in the corner of a national park

they don't bark like dogs

or howl at the moon like a wolf in the fog

They never move too fast too far or too soon

The night you beat me up you said it wouldn't last

and you thought it would sink into the past

but it never could and it never will

I drag the river and I feel it still

A candy coating on the bitterest pill but I taste it
