Riverside |
| Leaning over shaky ground and daring it to bring me down |
| Dancing on the edge of darkness, wondering if I’ll ever drown |
| When they tip the house of cards, I’ll do my best to act surprised |
| Standing on the riverside and waiting for the tide to rise |
| Watching all the ships go by with fire rising from the deck |
| Scavengers leave empty handed, nothing left aboard the wreck |
| The promise of all the gold was just the devil in disguise |
| Standing on the riverside and waiting for the tide to rise |
| Juggler and a joker, preacher and a petty thief |
| All walked into a bar, looking for some sweet relief |
| Said the preacher to the thief, «We're all the same in his eyes |
| When we’re standing by the riverside, waiting for the tide to rise» |
| The revolution did go as planned |
| Done in by timing, finished by the hand of man |
| Termites and maggots delighted in the things they found |
| I wonder why it took so long to bring them down |
