Lyrics Dry the River

Dry the River

Rollerskate

It was a four letter word

It's the simplest of rituals to observe

You keep on driving until something breaks

'Til I find you in the dark

Hot and heavy in the floodlights of a park

You're a gold star fallen from its natural plane

I hit him in the head with a rollerskate

Put him in a dentist's chair

And everybody's asking do I care

It's hard to control it

Well I do what you ask, but I can't forget the past

It's peace I desire but I can't put the fire out

Or I'd be in darkness again

Is there something in your eye?

It gets harder to ignore it in the night

When the whole world's sleeping and we're not side by side

You were braver at the start

Now if you want it, you can find it in a bar

Will you keep on driving 'til the feeling dies?

I hit him in the head with a rollerskate

Put him in a dentist's chair

And everybody's asking do I care

It's hard to explain it

'Cause I do what you ask, but I can't forget the past

It's peace I desire but I can't put the fire out

Or I'd be in darkness again

I couldn't want you more

Couldn't want you more

Couldn't want you more than this
