Throwing Muses

Lyrics to The River

Lose your way and we can stay out all night

Lose your keys and we can't go home

In a little time, in a little gin

We can touch hands again

Lose your head, lose your warhead



Wrote a song for a room I left long ago

It was my home, it was my hell

Now the girl that lives there

She's an exotic, a drunk



Leaves her clothes off when it rains

Run to the river, she carry me, she run me

All the way down to the floor where it's warm

And dirty like a river, dirty like a river

My whole hell, carry me, no, run me

All the way down to the river



All I want is to be worthy of my hands

But she's got plans, dirty like a river

You can't run me down, you can't run me down

Run me down



Lose it, lose your war
