tongue & cheek

coming in cheap with the beast out running

pretty girl

i think you're stunning

i'd like to take you home

but i fell out my throne

i never had a place to go

the water is free but the taps stopped running

pretty girl

i think you're stunning

just suck it in tongue and cheek

because the river runs deep

yes the river runs deep

i took all my time

i decided to tell

i'd take my own life

just to see you in hell

but i am alive

nobody heard you fell

so i threw you a line

down a dark wishing well

i heard a noise draw dark aloof

i'm blind but better off than you my friend

a blur got sharp and loud and true

my mind's make up

i'm here for you

my friend

'cause i will need you in the end

i'll need you in the end

immortal air in a fresh cool morning

i need to be there when you wake to the sound

of me speaking peace

put the devil in your sleep

haunted by the ghost of the man i used to be

birds fly away into the clouds of unknowing

titans of aphrodite

they show not when you're coming

'cause you suck it in tongue and cheek

because the river runs deep

yes the river runs deep

the river runs deep

with all honesty

yes

the river runs deep

i'll tell you my friend

the river runs deep
