"Blood On The River" lyrics
Long live the river within us
As we disappear into the dust
Taken from the well and the fountain of change
As we sip from the vine of pleasure and pain
You can have it all in your long black dress
But you can't take it with you if you pass that test
Feels right out here in the pines
I take a walk by the river and I clear my mind
I take a walk by the river and I clear my mind
I watch 'em all fade away
Behind their guns and the cavalry
It's all skinned knees and make-believe
'Til you end up hanging from the family tree
Now there's blood on the river, you feel no pain
Goddamn, it's a dreadful game
Got no past, erased it fast
No god, no shame, it's sad
No god, no shame, it's sad
Long live the river
Long live the river
Long live the river within us
"Trust no one"'s their philosophy
Ain't nobody here to care for me
Wow
Wow
Wow
Wow
Long live the river
Long live the river
Long live the river within us
Long live the river
Long live the river
Long live the river within us
Long live the river
Long live the river
Long live the river within us
Long live the river
Long live the river
Long live the river within us
As we disappear into the dust
Taken from the well and the fountain of change
As we sip from the vine of pleasure and pain
You can have it all in your long black dress
But you can't take it with you if you pass that test
Feels right out here in the pines
I take a walk by the river and I clear my mind
I take a walk by the river and I clear my mind
I watch 'em all fade away
Behind their guns and the cavalry
It's all skinned knees and make-believe
'Til you end up hanging from the family tree
Now there's blood on the river, you feel no pain
Goddamn, it's a dreadful game
Got no past, erased it fast
No god, no shame, it's sad
No god, no shame, it's sad
Long live the river
Long live the river
Long live the river within us
"Trust no one"'s their philosophy
Ain't nobody here to care for me
Wow
Wow
Wow
Wow
Long live the river
Long live the river
Long live the river within us
Long live the river
Long live the river
Long live the river within us
Long live the river
Long live the river
Long live the river within us
Long live the river
Long live the river
Long live the river within us
