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!
