[Verse 1]
East river
East river
East river
Ain't no river there no more
[Verse 2]
Wounded river opens wide
Swallow good and eat a tide
Keep us far away as long
Robot killer can stay on the run
Heavenly funk 'n earthly fate
Wanna jump in and be it's mate
Elude yourself, disintegrate
[Verse 3]
East river la-di-da
Died and went to Heaven, ha, ha, ha
Dancing with the angels, cha, cha, cha
Singing with the devil, ooh, la, la
East river la-di-da
[Verse 4]
Ain't no river there no more
Left its skin like a giant snake
Is the fake real or the real fake?
Is it just some fat catfish
Who feeds all day on waste and wish?
I'm standing on the bridge of time
There's no way across but to lose my mind
Jump off time and see what I find
[Verse 5]
East river la-di-da
Died and when to Heaven, ha, ha, ha
Dancing with the angels, cha, cha, cha
Singing with the devil, ooh, la, la
East river la-di-da
[Verse 6]
East river la-di-da
Died and when to Heaven, ha, ha, ha
Dancing with the angels, cha, cha, cha
Singing with the devil, ooh, la, la
East river la-di-da
[Verse 7]
East river la-di-da
Died and when to Heaven, ha, ha, ha
Dancing with the angels, cha, cha, cha
Singing with the devil, ooh, la, la
East river la-di-da
[Verse 8]
East river la-di-da
Died and when to Heaven, ha, ha, ha
Dancing with the angels, cha, cha, cha
Singing with the devil, ooh, la, la
East river
