Lyrics

Pissing in a river Watching it rise Tattoo fingers Shy away from me Voices, voices Mesmerize Voices, voices Beckoning sea, now you Come, come, come Come back, come back Come back, come back, come back Spoke of a wheel Tip of a spoon Mouth of a cave I'm a slave, I'm free When are you coming? Hope you come soon Fingers, fingers Encircling thee, now you Come, come, come back, oh Come back, come back, come back, oh My bowels are empty Excreting your soul What more can I give you? Baby, I don't know What more can I do dear To make this thing grow? Don't turn your back now When I'm talking to you Should I follow a path so twisted? Should I crawl defeated and gifted? Should I go to the length of a river The royal, the throne, to cry me a river? Everything I need, I've looked to you Everything I need I came to you All I've done, I've run to you And then I came like a magnet for you now What about it, you're gonna leave me What about it, you don't need me What about it, I can't live without you What about it, I never doubted you What about it? What about it? What about it? What about it? Should I follow a path so twisted? Should I crawl defeated and gifted? Should I go to the length of a river The royal, the throne, to cry me a river? What about it? What about it? What about it? I'm pissing in a river
