RIVER SPLASHES
AGAINST THE ROCKS
AND I SCALE A SLOPE
I HOPE THE TRACKS WON'T
LEAD ME DOWN
TO THE DARK BLACK PITS
OR PLACES WHERE
WE FALL TO BITS
IF SHE WERE THERE
I'D HOLD HER DOWN
I'LL PUSH HER UNDER
WHILE SHE DROWNS
AND COULDN'T BREATHE
AND CALL FOR AIR
SHE DOESN'T CARE
FOR MY DESPAIR
OR IS IT ME...
OR THE ONE THAT'S WRONG
YOU SEE IT IN THIS HEAT
RIVER COOL'S WHERE I BELONG
IN MY MERSEY PARADISE
AS I STARE AN OIL WHEEL
COMES SAILIN' BY
AND I FEEL LIKE
GROWIN' FINS AND FALLIN' IN
WITH THE BRICKS, THE BIKES
THE RUSTY TIN
I'LL SWIM ALONG
WITHOUT A CARE
I'M EATIN' SAND
WHEN I NEED AIR
YOU CAN BET YOUR LIFE
I'LL MEET A PIKE
WHO'LL WOLF ME DOWN
FOR TEA TONIGHT
I WANT TO BE
WHERE THE DROWNIN'S ARE
YOU SEE IT IN THIS HEAT
RIVER COOL'S WHERE I BELONG
IN MY MERSEY PARADISE
I WANT TO BE
WHERE THE DROWNIN'S ARE
YOU SEE IT IN THIS HEAT
RIVER COOL'S WHERE I BELONG
OH, YEAH
I WANT TO BE
WHERE THE DROWNIN'S ARE
YOU SEE IT IN THIS HEAT
RIVER COOL'S WHERE I BELONG
IN MY MERSEY PARADISE
