Rivers

See the sun crawling over the sky.
 Keep an eye on the surf and the sea and the sand.
 Don't you know every night is a stand-off with the fucking horizon!
 You had a real time of it.
 Staring off into the light.
 Hands tied behind your back.
 Steel chair giving you shivers.
 You've always had a problem flowing down rivers...
 See the rain falling down from the sky to its death,
 Smashed on the street in despair, somewhere over there I swear!
 You had a real time of it.
 Staring up into the light.
 Hands tied behind your head... go!
 Stranded on the carousel.
 A cripple from the wreck.
 I was ringing a bell's neck, looking for a sign.
 "Three stars means I'm losing you,"
 says The Night to one of her romances.
 The plane lands and everybody dances, it's fine...
 You had a real time of it.
 Staring off into the light.
 Hands tied behind your head.
 Steel chair giving you shivers.
 You always had a problem flowing down rivers!
 You've always had a problem flowing down rivers!
