Rivers

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!
