I took a river and it wouldn't let go
I want you to stay and I want you to go
I took a river and the river was long and it goes on

I want to be there tonight
I want to get there but it's just out of sight
I took a river and felt so slight so hold on

so hold on
hold on
it goes on

I took a river and the river was long
I want you to stay course I want you to go
I took a river and the river was long and goes on

it goes on
ooh it goes on
it goes on

son you must go back to the life
go pack your bags
take up your scythe
cause this world wasn't meant for us both

who made the night
who made the day
who gave you life
who gave you say
I said this world wasn't meant for us both

who rules the day
who rules the night
go pack your bags
take up your scythe
I said this world wasn't meant for us both

you gotta feel it yes you gotta feel it
to get it right even one time
you gotta feel it don't take notes
just clear out your mind
let go your pride
feel it inside
it's a it's a it's a

you gotta feel it or I suspect
you'll wind up where you don't want to get
it's a long way home when you're trying to find your way
with a bag full of books
the notes that you took
a compass and stick
and the sevenths and sixths
it's a it's a yes sir

to feel it
to feel it yeah
you gotta feel it
oh you gotta feel it yeah

oh you gotta feel it alright
oh you gotta feel it alright
oh you gotta feel it alright

everything move so fast I should know it won't last
take some stock what you are what you see what you got

it tells me true I want a connection to
someone something
edge of a knife been missing it all my life
someone something

they get you where you live
don't go back you can't go back again

yes it's true just a connection to
someone something
been up all night feel like sucking an armalite
someone something

everything moves so fast I should know it won't last

I want a settled life I want to be calm and polite
someone something
I'll get this right when I get there now
someone something

I'll never hold you back
and I won't force my will
I will no longer do the devil's wishes
something I read on a dollar bill
a paper tiger can't tell you where he stands
we'll go back tonight the way that we came
I'm not dumb, just want to hold your hand

so alright
where we want to be
and alright
what that we could be

oh we could go kick ass in bars together
stay out til morning sharp as knives
the new war will get you it will not protect you
but I will be there with you when turn out the light
said I will be there with you when you turn out the light
I will be there with you when you turn out the light

The beast and dragon, adored
You been gone so long
Where you been for so long
I went to places unknown
Rented a room
And I forgot my pen
Shook my twin
And I had to find the feelin again

Now all I need is a crew
One that can act as if
One that can slay on cue
And sneeze and sniff
Uh-huh alright
I'm going back to the water
Been landlocked too long

I got a feelin it don't come cheap
I got a feelin oh and then it got to me
It took its time a-working into my soul
I got to believe it come from rock and roll
Believe it come from rock and roll

Where did you get for so long
I been learning my scene
I been watching my friends move away
I summon my love back to me
And I went down by the seawall
That's when I knew, knew They Never Got You

Great dominions they don't come cheap
Great dominions they just want you to leave
I got the meaning the meanings air tight
Said it's not what you expected but it could be right

I got a feelin it didn't come free
I got a feelin and then it got to me
When you don't feel it it shows they tear out your soul
And when you believe they call it rock and roll
And when you believe they call it rock and roll

Now Carole don't get ahead of yourself
Don't say nothing right now
I'll take it anywhere you let it go

Everything moving so fast
It'll take you a place where you can't get back
And I've seen it enough
You gotta make me shut up

So there's something to look forward to
Gimme something to look forward to

Your mistakes, your merciless eye
Your Chicago Manual of Style
It only's got to go just as far as we let it go
So Carole let me know

So many things we could say
So many things we could let get out
But you stay in instead
Some things are best left unsaid

Gimme something to look forward to

We get high in back seats of cars
We break into mobile homes
We go to sleep to shake appeal
Never wake up on our own

And that's the way we get by
Way we get by
And that’s the way we get by
Way we get by

We go out in stormy weather
We rarely practice discern
We make love to some weird sin
We seek out the taciturn

And that's the way we get by
Way we get by
And that’s the way we get by
Way we get by

We found a new kind of dance in a magazine
Tried it out it's like nothing you ever seen
You sweet talk like a cop and you know it
You bought a new bag of pot, said let's make a new start

And that's the way to my heart
The way to my heart

That's the way we get by
Way we get by

We get high in back seats of cars
We put faith in our concerns
Fall in love to down on the street
We believe in the sum of ourselves

I said that's the way we get by

Small stakes
Give you the blues
But you don't feel taken
Don't think you've been used

Cause it's alright Friday night to Sunday
It feels alright keeps your mind on the page

Oh yeah small stakes ensure you the minimum blues
But you don't feel taken and you don't feel abused
Small stakes tell you that there's nothing can do
Can't think big, can't think past one or two and alright!
Yeah alright!

Me and my friends
Sell ourselves
Short but feel
Very well

We feel fine
Aw we feel fine

And small time danger in your midsize car
I don't dig the stripes but I'll go for har mar
The big innovation on the minimum wage
Is lines up your nose but your life on the page so c'mon
Tell me I'm wrong

Small stakes
Will kill me
When you're stuck
In back of the line

It feels alright Friday night to Sunday
Aw it feels alright keeps your mind on the page

And small stakes bring you where you're caught in a rut
You feel so uptight you just want to throw it all up
And small stakes leave you with the minimum blues
Can't think big, can't think past one or two so c'mon

Getting caught's made me think it over
And it told me that you're never coming back here again
We've been doing things the same way for so long
That it took me aback
And I don't think I'll ever hear that sad song again
Don't tell me I've lost youAdvance cassette
I just can't believe it
No don't say that I've lost you
Advance cassetteI just can't believe it
You'll know by the look on their faces when they pass you
You've been dropped off on the texas highway
I've been out here now for so long that I'm not sure
How you wound me so tight
I'm afraid I won't ever hear that sad song again
So don't tell me I've lost you
Advance cassette oh no
I just can't believe in it
No don't say that I've lost you
Advance cassette
I just can't believe it

Molly said she ought to leave you in the ground
When they see you hanging down from on the ceiling
I've got a feeling
That there's no one if you could speak would believe you
I-N-T-H-E-G-R-O-U-N-D ground
