down a different river

stuffed to the eyeballs with god knows what

you're a conversational hazard

talking so quickly with so much ease

i think you might have just snorted a blizzard

oh! won't you tell it to someone else?

and we'll go down a different river

and we'll see where it carries us

meet me at the muster station

and if the ship's going down we'll swim for the ground

come on

come and join us here

living a lie when i'm lying here

i've got windswept eyes in the morning

doesn't improve as the day goes on

you've got shagpile perm in the evening!

if i could only make out the door

and we'll go down a different river

and we'll see where it carries us

meet me at the muster station

and if the ship's going down we'll swim for the ground

come on

come and join us here

here

here

here

if i could only make out the door!

if i could only make out the door!

if i could only make out the door!

if i could only make out the door!

if i could only make out the door!

if i could only make out the door!

if i could only make out the door!

if i could only make out the door!

(slowly down a different river

slowly down)
