Silkworm - Drag The River lyrics

rate me

Drag the river with a comb that you just bought<br />

For a dollar at the drugstore on the font<br />

If you catch a body falling star, falling star<br />

Is it anybody 'cause those has-beens don't fall far<br />

Not like a comet shard, not like a bullet shot at a passing car<br />

Planned from the beginning from the very start<br />

An arrow through the middle of the truest of hearts<br />

<br />

The night you beat me up, you said it wouldn't last<br />

And you thought it would sink into the past<br />

But it never could and it never will<br />

I drag the river and I feel it still<br />

<br />

That trick sent us into triple overtime and into sudden death<br />

Certain inconsistencies saved us at the net<br />

Like that gentle retardation that I never will forget<br />

I won't forget, not like the time you let, pass you by<br />

Like a comet in the night with its tail shining bright<br />

A poker in the face of a dream pursuing sight<br />

<br />

The night you beat me up, you said it wouldn't last<br />

And you thought it would sink into the past<br />

But it never could and it never will<br />

I drag the river and I feel it still<br />

<br />

Salt, sugar, water and grease<br />

Run through the veins of the local police<br />

Wide of the target and short of the mark<br />

Like bears in the corner of a national park<br />

They don't bark like dogs or howl at the moon like a wolf in the fog<br />

They never move too fast, too far or too soon<br />

<br />

The night you beat me up, you said it wouldn't last<br />

And you thought it would sink into the past<br />

But it never could and it never will<br />

I drag the river and I feel it still<br />

A candy coating on the bitterest pill but I taste it
