The River / Jimmy, He Whispers Songtext
von Manchester Orchestra

God knows you′re on my mind
I can't try to tell him otherwise
God knows it′s only time
Before I break the chain in my eyes

Fear keeps you hiding at night
And the creatures play ball outside
Chances are slim, we are right
But I'd never think it any otherwise

So we'll find the answers in time
And the bodies pile up sky high
And I′ll sail this ship towards the sky
But I′ll end all alone on the other side
And if you could pull that rope just a little higher
We could dangle alone like a firefly


So Jimmy, I've heard the voice of God
And he whispered "Fear is logical"
And he said "It′s magic, wonderful"
And he swears to him it's wonderful
And the lake you speak of, magical
So I skip stones on it, practical
And I make sure that we′re both wonderful

You're a brother and that′s alright
You're a brother and that's alright
You′re a brother and that′s alright
We're brothers, it makes it right

′Cause his blood is so red in spite
Of the way that our sharp teeth bite
Oh, the way that our sharp teeth bite
In each other during the night
With the creatures that play outside
We're the creatures that play outside

′Cause Jimmy, I've heard the voice of God
And he whispered "Fear is logical"
And the words that we heard aren′t repeatable
And the thought that could kill, comprehendable

And we're brothers and that's alright
And we′re brothers and that′s alright
And we're brothers and that′s alright
Yeah, we're brothers until we die
