River Lyrics by Scavenger’s Lunch

Modern Slave

2018

Dim the streetlights like before
From the booze bar to the towers, up to the shore
See the moustache lady beckoning you over on her side
And the young boys kept on dancing with the devil every night
But we felt fine and we never made mistakes
So just once more and let us sing till the morning breaks
Let the river flow till the last one has to go
Now set these stories down, my train has already gone
Let the river flow till the last one has to go
Now set these stories down 'cause I ain’t coming home
This empty room here has to blast
Keep well in mind the plenty bruises of your past
So we ranged the urban forest under swaying neon lights
Through the dust, these bloody lips fulfilled the long, forgotten nights
So, stay on the rocket of the spinning carousel
Now go ahead, don’t wait for any last farewell
Let the river flow till the last one has to go
Now set these stories down my train has already gone
Let the river flow till the last one has to go
Now set these stories down 'cause I ain’t coming home
Coming home
