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.

There is a place on the wrong side of town

It's a curse whenever I go

And I have to forget that the thoughts in my head

Let me down, I want you to know

Now I don't know ya, but you are my jailer

I've sentanced by the jury below

Now it scares me to death

And I just cannot let this cage they put over me

Don't drag the river

I hear the voices on the ground

Don't drag the river

I go to sleep without a sound

You can turn out the daylight

I'll be gone in the morning

You can try to burn down the sun

I gotta make you believe

That I did not deceive

No, I did not hurt anyone

You can make me slave

You can make me a number

But I'm not the one who lied

Cos they threw away the key

And it just cannot be

In this cage that they put over me

Don't drag the river

I hear the voices on the ground

Don't drag the river

I go to sleep without a sound

I'm in a state of madness

I panic in my head

They're gonna pull me under

No matter what I said

I taste the fear inside me

I'm gonna break my vow

And now the hound is callin'

It's gonna take me down

Taste the fear inside me

I'm gonna break my vow

And now the hound is callin'

Take me down

I hear the voices on the ground

I go to sleep without a sound

Drag the river

I hear the voices on the ground

Don't drag the river

I go to sleep without a sound

River

I hear the voices on the ground

Don't drag the river

I go to sleep without a sound

Don't drag the river (repeat)
