Downriver Songtext
von Ben Reneer

Every time I think that I′ve found it
I go and drown it
In gasoline
Every time I'm kicking the sidewalk
You′d think I've gone crazy
I'm just blowing off steam

And I woke up downriver
It feels like only yesterday
And I′m too cold to shiver
So I crawl back in the water
And drift away


These streets, they don′t have the answer
Trust me I've been there
She′s a dead bolt door
Vague dreams. A shadow on her porch swing
Just another kid at bat in Burgess Park
What's he swinging for?
What′s he swinging for?

And I woke up downriver
It feels like only yesterday
And I'm too cold to shiver
So I crawl back in the water
And drift away

Maybe I was in your dream then
But I was late
You found another
Found another

And I woke up downriver
It feels like only yesterday
And I′m too cold to shiver
So I crawl back in the water
And drift away
