Down by the River

Gonna take you down by the river Smell the gunpowder, hear the ghost sing Kids in the shadows, drinking by the water Smoking and blowing them smoke rings Gonna take you down to the river You're gonna learn about the times man Bloodstains will make you shiver You're gonna feel it in your spine, man Used to walk down Sante Fe Street Had a quarter in my hand and a fake ID Sip a little poison on the Mexican side Bones in the ground heard singing off key Now walk down Sante Fe Bridge Lie low between the lanes man Nobody flinching when the killing shots ring These times ain't the same man Undertaker look like crows Red eyed and dressed in black Undertaker said there ain't no law Cross that river, you never come back Gonna take you to the railroad bridge Gonna see men hanging like scarecrows Noose tied on the violent side of the lamp blown over so the world knows I'm gonna take you to the railroad bridge so ya Ya have to look em in the eye Countin the thread, sendin you a message Blood spillin, don't matter what side Undertaker look like crows Red eyed and dressed in black Undertaker said there ain't no law Cross that river, you never come back Cross that river, you never come back Crows fly through the sister city street Weep for the lives of the lost ones They cry what a shame, what a pity Mouths fed through the crimes of a drug gun Crow flies through the broken city Gather up the remains man Take heed, we all bleed Keep it running through your veins man And when I walk that line I see the other side Something in their eyes Well its the same as mine Undertaker look like crows Red eyed and dressed in black Undertaker said there ain't no law Cross that river, you never come back Undertaker look like crows Red eyed and dressed in black Undertaker said there's only one law Cross that river, you never come back Cross that river, you never come back Cross that river, you never come back Cross that river, you never come back Cross the dirty river and you never come back
