Lyrics
The River
City people flood the streets
Taxis scream by in a stream
Mouths are spouting off
Eyes are averted
Steady flow of deep regrets
Weigh their pockets, fill their heads
Damn this life
Damn this way of living
So take me down, down, down
To the river
Take me down, down, down
To the river
Shallow minds and hollow hearts
Competition off the charts
Fight the tides
For the sake of the winning
Instead of going with the flow
Dive right in and let it go
They cycle back
To plotting and sinking
So take me down, down, down
To the river
Take me down, down, down
To the river
This place feels like an island
I feel so alone
What I wouldn't give for silence
Won't you take me home
So take me down, down, down
To the river
Take me down, down, down
To the river
So take me down, down, down
To the river
Take me down, down, down
