RIVERDALE Lyrics by Newton James

2018

Verse 1:
Moving weight across the room, turn head peak a boo
I see you, who's that I once knew?
Creeping through the night, I'm shaking for my twenty two
Got me Jonesin, haunted by the ghost of you
Colors fading, I'm prespirating
I think I'm tripping, the rain just turned from green to blue
The liquor of the fate that binds
It slurs the hands of time slow
Pre chorus:
Please stop this pain tonight
I can't sleep I can not dream tonight
I'm feeling some type of way
Sick strange darkness, hounds on my trail
Im missing the hum in your cry when you sleep
Im missing your stars when they shine through your trees
I hear your voice but it's not enough
Chorus:
Why should I run across when I can walk down the street?
Who knows what I may find, or the people I'll see?
So many thoughts revolve around my mind they come and go again
Why should I run across when I can walk down the street?
Verse 2:
I see the sandman
New Yorker Black Hood
Tis' is the season, let hop up in the mystery van
Body on the scene, looks like he fed a couple dirty xan
Subtle clues point to the house up on the next ave
It's desolation row, I see some trapping skinheads
We form a klan, then pull up on his homestead
Damn, bullets fly and ricochet
Makes for it out the back, leaving us dusty
Yes, Scooby was here, yes, Doobie was there
We hop back in the van, but it won't steer
Communication breakdown, down, down
Left empty handed, no answers found
Pre chorus:
Please stop this pain tonight
I can't sleep I can not dream tonight
I'm feeling some type of way
Sick strange darkness, hounds on my trail
Im missing the hum in your cry when you sleep
Im missing your stars when they shine through your trees
I hear your voice but it's not enough
Chorus:
Why should I run across when I can walk down the street?
Who knows what I may find, or the people I'll see?
So many thoughts revolve around my mind they come and go again
Why should I run across when I can walk down the street?
