Lyrics Dry the River

Dry the River

Med School

They're cutting up the bodies

In the med school basement

And I am only watching

On an academic placement

I regulate my breathing

But I can't escape the feeling

That I should not be watching today

Earlier on the stairwell

I couldn't hear your speaking

So I wandered in the hallway

With the [?]

But if I knew for certain

That I'd keep my cool in person

Then I would not be watching today

Help me

Whisper it for me

Now that the time's come

I'm losing my nerve, love

Under your spell

I ain't got no reason

To hang around the library

Cause I sure as hell ain't reading

But you might sit beside me

When the streets are wet with darkness

When I walk to your apartment

Then I will only watch you change

Help me

Whisper it for me

I'm losing my nerve, love

And the power of speech

Maybe you'll wanna take me

From the back of the classroom

From all of the geeks

And tell me your secrets

And teach me to speak

And break off your spell

And break off your spell

And now this is over

I promise you I'll go

Wandering tonight

And never come home

And now this over

I promise you I'll leave you

And wandering tonight

Needing you and me

Maybe you'll wanna take me

From the back of the classroom

From all of the geeks

And tell me your secrets

And teach me to speak

And break off your spell

And break off your spell
