Jim White - Burn the River DryLyrics

Door is locked no one's home Frame is empty picture's missing Throw that rock right through the window. Hey, I know him, he's a singer. Roam around another town Looks like Phoenix, Arizona Borrow the car from it's owner. That sleepy-head He's dreaming the dreams of suburbia. Yeah suburbia. Me, I don't care I just pay what it takes to feel alive. 'Cause somehow somewhere, Hell everyone I know is waiting Just waiting to burn the river dry. And nothing works more than once, It keeps you restless, always moving Fretful searching for a brand new Spanking form of deliverance. Movies stars heroin, Dreams of wild old fucking grandeur! Snap your fingers, now you're famous Close your eyes as you sell out To all them suckers that you hate. Yeah, them suckers that you hate. Me, I don't care I just pay what it takes to feel alive Somehow, somewhere Everyone I know is waiting Just waiting to burn that river dry. Burn that river dry. Hands that once reached for heaven Grabbing at the penny in the sewer. Smell of your soul burning on the skewer, And all that dirt that you have swallowed. The howling voice from the closet, Better run away just because it Seems to know a little bit too much about All them shallow graves that you got buried In the field of your experience. Me, I don't care I just pay what it takes to feel alive. Somehow somewhere, hell everyone I know Is waiting Just waiting to burn that river dry.
