River High

Everything in a world where clocks run forward
And the river runs to the sea,
Pointing to what we've been giving
By the fact that we've been living
Between ? and the city

Overything they said is coming true,
I wish you were here to see
Our concern is unaffected
We're concerned that you're connected
To space satellite technology

And out there
Where you're fooling around and you're free
There's no work to be found
And your hair falling into your mouth
And your eyes are open wide

Everything in a world where clocks run slowly
And the river don't know the sea,
Pointing to what keeps you nodding
And away from not a lot
And not a lot is really nothing to see

Everything they said is coming true
We're kicking it off on the one
But, my god, it makes me shiver
You're still living by the river
When baby we were born to run

And out there
Where you're tooling around and you're free
There are no works to be found
And your hair falling into your mouth
And your arms are open wide

And the light has gone dull in your eyes
You're seventeen
And your friends are your life
Come with me
Just don't want you to die where the river gets you high

And out there
Where you're tooling around if you're free
There are no works to be found
And your hair falling into your mouth
And your arms are open wide

And the light has gone out of your eyes
You're twenty-three and your friends are your ride
But come with me
Just don't want you to die where the river gets you high.
