Pissing in a River lyrics

Pissing in a river watching it rise

Tattoo fingers shy away from me

Voices voices mesmerize

Voices voices beckoning sea

Come, come, come, come back

Come back, come back, come back, come back

Spoke of a wheel, tip of a spoon

Mouth of a cave, I'm slave I'm free

When are you coming hope you come soon

Fingers fingers encircling thee

Come, come, come, come come

Come, come, come, come, come, come, come for me

[Instrumental Break]

My bowels are empty excreting your soul

What more can I give you baby I don't know

What more can I give you to make this thing grow

Don't turn your back now I'm talking to you

Should I pursue a path so twisted?

Should I crawl defeated and gifted?

Should I go the length of a river

The royal, the throne, the cry me a river

Everything I've done I've done for you

Oh I give my life for you

Every move I made I move to you

And I came like a magnet for you know

What about it you're going to leave me

What about it you don't need me

What about it I can't live without you

What about it I never doubted you

What about it what about it

What about it what about it

Should I pursue a path so twisted?

Should I crawl defeated and gifted?

Should I go the length of a river?

The royal the throne the cry me river

What about it what about it what about it

Oh I'm pissing in a river
