๐ Lyrics
It's not the shadow of a lost plane
Or the rumble of a railway line
It's coming with the strength of an iron horse
And without you on its mind
Now I've been sitting on the fire escape of the
Fairmont looking down
There's not a bridge going anywhere
That you'd wanna be found
Well, it's not a good idea to cross it
It may not have another side
It may be hot enough to melt your clothes
But you won't step out alive
You're gonna wanna get your lamp lit
Can't nobody see you now
It's not as dark as it's gonna get
And we're a long way from higher ground
There's no way around it
There's no way around it
However you feel about it
We're gonna move the river
However you feel about it
We're gonna move (we're gonna move) the river
The sky's the color of an ashtray
It's full of Van Gogh's yellow clouds
And those aren't gospel songs you hear
Being sung in the crowd
Now may a ladder appear in the smoke
Through a hole we can climb
You see the torches on a battered boat
Of a ghost ship without any guide
There's no way around it
There's no way around it
However you feel about it
We're gonna move the river
Whatever you do about it
We're gonna move (we're gonna move) the river
We've been sleeping in the backseat
On our rooftops and open roads
And soon we'll be riding on oil cans
Wearing everything that we own
If men are all brothers, then brother
Why do you treat us this way?
We've already been overserved
May be sick, but not too much to say
There's no way around it
There's no way around it
However you feel about it
We're gonna move the river
However you feel about it
We're gonna move the river
Whatever you do about it
We're gonna move the river
There's no two ways about it
We're gonna move the river
Or the rumble of a railway line
It's coming with the strength of an iron horse
And without you on its mind
Now I've been sitting on the fire escape of the
Fairmont looking down
There's not a bridge going anywhere
That you'd wanna be found
Well, it's not a good idea to cross it
It may not have another side
It may be hot enough to melt your clothes
But you won't step out alive
You're gonna wanna get your lamp lit
Can't nobody see you now
It's not as dark as it's gonna get
And we're a long way from higher ground
There's no way around it
There's no way around it
However you feel about it
We're gonna move the river
However you feel about it
We're gonna move (we're gonna move) the river
The sky's the color of an ashtray
It's full of Van Gogh's yellow clouds
And those aren't gospel songs you hear
Being sung in the crowd
Now may a ladder appear in the smoke
Through a hole we can climb
You see the torches on a battered boat
Of a ghost ship without any guide
There's no way around it
There's no way around it
However you feel about it
We're gonna move the river
Whatever you do about it
We're gonna move (we're gonna move) the river
We've been sleeping in the backseat
On our rooftops and open roads
And soon we'll be riding on oil cans
Wearing everything that we own
If men are all brothers, then brother
Why do you treat us this way?
We've already been overserved
May be sick, but not too much to say
There's no way around it
There's no way around it
However you feel about it
We're gonna move the river
However you feel about it
We're gonna move the river
Whatever you do about it
We're gonna move the river
There's no two ways about it
We're gonna move the river
