lyrics

they told me god was dead
I didn't even know that he was sick
the writing on the wall said
that it was all just a cruel trick
there aint no difference in my head
between the carrot and the stick

I didn't catch your name
but may I buy you another drink
are you drawn to the flame
do you believe everything that you think
you get a whiff of fame
and now you think that your shit don't stink

down the river and I'm singing this song
I guess I've been floating away too long
we'll bid farewell when we reach the shore
but i'll be back again once more

stay out of the light
you won't miss it at all
start a brand new life
in the mirror on the wall
I guess that old song is right
many waters can't quench love no matter how small

I thought I heard your voice and the oceans turned to steam
what the hell was that noise, was it a whisper or a scream
you never have a choice when you wake up in someone else's dream

the cold earth trembles
it pushes and it pulls
you've got to be nimble
to suffer all your fools
just keep a faith that's simple
while you're laying down with wolves

rise up out of your crystal box
tie back the hands of all the clocks
try to grow another inch another day
just keep singing the same old song the same old way
