River Deep Lyrics by The Devil Makes Three

Longjohns, Boots, and a Belt

0

When you're livin' in a town like this
It's easy to sit back and just forget
That the world keeps on spinnin' round and round
Round and round, round and round

The beast is bitter, sink its teeth in deep
She'll bite you while you're dreamin', send you off to your sleep
And you carry, you carry on down, on down, on down
Down that river deep

When you're sittin' in the city large
Just laid back lazy staring to the stars
You're still just laying right where you are
Where you are, where you are

The beast is bitter, sink its teeth in deep
She'll bite you while you're dreamin' send you off to your sleep
And you carry, you carry on down, on down, on down
Down that river deep

You're sittin' in a hole just a-wonderin' why
Stagnation's singin' to you like a lullaby
But 'til you move boy there you are
There you are, there you are

The beast is bitter, sink its teeth in deep
She'll bite you while you're dreamin' send you off to your sleep
And you carry, you carry on down, on down, on down
Down that river deep
