Elvis Costello - The River In Reverse Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • How long does a promise last?
  • How long can a lie be told?
  • What would I take in exchange for my soul?
  • Would I notice when it was sold?
  • Wake me up
  • Wake me up
  • Wake me up with a slap or a kiss
  • There must be something better than this
  • 'Cos I don't see how it can get much worse
  • What do we have to do to send
  • The river in reverse
  • Every man a crawling kingsnake
  • Every girl a half a heartbreak
  • Every woman sold into shame
  • To any son without a name
  • Are your arms too weak to lift?
  • Another shovel on the graveyard shift
  • Here comes the flood if you catch my drift
  • Where the things that they promised are not a gift
  • If man falls through the mirror of a lake
  • They fish him out quick and they call him a fake
  • Give him all the temptations he can take
  • Tie him up high 'til his bones break
  • Wake me up
  • Wake me up
  • Wake me up with a slap or a kiss
  • There must be something better than this
  • 'Cos I don't see how it can get much worse
  • What do we have to do to send
  • The river in reverse
  • I thought I heard somebody laugh
  • Look out your window
  • They're chasing shadows in the dark
  • They're counting widows
  • I felt a sliver of glass
  • Saw a cross in splinters
  • I felt the truce of spring
  • Dig me out of the trench of winter
  • So count your blessings when they ask permission
  • To govern with money and superstition
  • They tell you it's all for your own protection
  • 'Til you fear your own reflection
  • But the times are passing from illumination
  • Like bodies falling from a constellation
  • An uncivil war divides the nation
  • So erase the tape on that final ape running down creation
  • Running down creation
  • Wake me up
  • Wake me up
  • Wake me up with a slap or a kiss
  • There must be something better than this
  • Wake me up
  • Wake me up with a slap or a kiss
  • There must be something better than this
