SHOW ME THE WAY TO THE RIVER

wipe this grin off of my face
help me leave without a trace
give the wound a little more salt
tell the world it's not my fault
show me the way to the river

every beast i tried to kiss
crossed me off the witness list
they said that i was out there on the fringe
but i was just on a little ten year binge
show me the way to the river

tell the girls i need to dance
cheek to cheek halfway to france
so shorten up that sidelong glance
just chalk it up to circumstance
show me the way to the river

the river jordan the river nile
the mississippi runs a thousand miles
the river thames the river po
i'm gonna cross every river you know
show me the way to the river
