I was the river's smile Coursing through your mind Keeping your speech in tune While I wrestled the fire We were golden (I hear you're coming 'round again) Drinking nights away (I feel you sleeping in my bones) Singing for the ages (You're here to bring me back to earth) We've been singing lives away for years There's nothing here, there's nothing here But your s** and d**, you're always selling me out But your s** and d**, keeping me down You mountebank, you know I can't resist the world We've been on the streets (You know I'm coming 'round again) Waking up for the first time
Getting closer (You'll feel me sleeping in your mind) Ever closer to the end of our demise (I'm here to bring you back to God) There's nothing here, there's nothing here But your s** and d**, you're always selling me out But your s** and d**, keeping me down You mountebank, you know I can't resist the world So I shake off the need to be sober Show them that they can mean something We are supplement to everything in sequence Shake off the need for mutuality There's no real love in this business Bypa** the need for a come-down It's all what you believe
