It's not the shadow of a lost plane Or the rumble of a railway line Coming with the strength of an iron horse And without you on its mind I've been sitting on the fire escape of the Fairmont looking down There's not a bridge going anywhere You'd wanna be found
It's not a good idea to cross it It may not have another side May be hot enough to melt your clothes But you won't step out alive You're gonna wanna get your lamp lit Can't nobody see you now It's not as dark as it's gonna get And we're a long way from higher ground
There's no way around it There's no way around it However you feel about it We're gonna move the river However you feel about it We're gonna move the river
The sky's the color of an ashtray Full of Van Gogh's yellow clouds And those aren't gospel songs you hear Being sung in the crowd May a ladder appear in the smoke Through a hole we can climb See the torches on a battered boat Of a ghost ship without any guide
There's no way around it There's no way around it However you feel about it We're gonna move the river Whatever you do about it We're gonna move the river
We've been sleeping in the backseat On our rooftops and open roads Soon we'll be riding on oil cans Wearing everything that we own If men are all brothers then brother Why do you treat us this way? We've already been overserved May be sick but not too much to say
There's no way around it There's no way around it However you feel about it We're gonna move the river Whatever you do about it We're gonna move the river Whatever you do about it We're gonna move the river No two ways about it We're gonna move the riverTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
