The River - Zak Abel

On a cab drive home from the dark side

Hearing fat lip preach from the far side

I was told about her, I was told about her

As we stopped in front of the red light

The rain washed our chariots that night

I was told about her, I was told about her

She is pure, our eyes connect through the rear view

But you want more than she’s giving you

As you’re telling me your lies

And you’re telling me your truths, well

She don’t have no choice

She don’t have no choice in the matter

Oh just sailing down the river

She don’t have no voice

She only has a silence to shatter

She’s just sailing down the river to the grave

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Sailing down the river

As they picked her up, Mississippi mud

On your hands and hair, you were covered up

I was told about you, I’ve been worried about you

On a missing high, she changed her light

But it’s not your war to justify

I was told about you, I was warned about you

She is pure, our eyes connect through the rear view

But you want more than she’s giving you

As you’re telling me your lies

And you’re telling me your truths, well

She don’t have no choice

She don’t have no choice in the matter

Oh just sailing down the river

She don’t have no voice

She only has a silence to shatter

She’s just sailing down the river to the grave

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Sailing down the river to the grave

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Sailing down the river

She don’t have no choice

She don’t have no choice in the matter

Oh just sailing down the river

She don’t have no voice

She only has a silence to shatter

She’s just sailing down the river to the grave, ooh

Ooh, yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
