Destroyer - The River lyrics
[Destroyer - The River lyrics]
She despises the direction this
City's been going in
She rises above it all, cause after all
Someone’s got to go free
And someone’s got to follow the river
Escape from New York escape from
LA take it from me, leave London
You study your Braille you listen
To the hail outside
A comedy of souls a plot thick with holes
In a windowless room on
The outskirts of town, overlooking
The river
You're living, you're breathing
You're living, you're breathing
You try to believe in, but you don't believe
You want them to go, they never leave
Lily-colored livers
The rich man shivers for reasons
Unknown in the wind
"I'm over before I begin, " he says
"I'm over before I begin to go, " he says
City's been going in
She rises above it all, cause after all
Someone’s got to go free
And someone’s got to follow the river
Escape from New York escape from
LA take it from me, leave London
You study your Braille you listen
To the hail outside
A comedy of souls a plot thick with holes
In a windowless room on
The outskirts of town, overlooking
The river
You're living, you're breathing
You're living, you're breathing
You try to believe in, but you don't believe
You want them to go, they never leave
Lily-colored livers
The rich man shivers for reasons
Unknown in the wind
"I'm over before I begin, " he says
"I'm over before I begin to go, " he says
