| When you’re livin' in a town like this
|
| It’s easy to sit back and just forget
|
| That the world keeps on spinnin' round and round
|
| Round and round, round and round
|
| The beast is bitter, sink its teeth in deep
|
| She’ll bite you while you’re dreamin', send you off to your sleep
|
| And you carry, you carry on down, on down, on down
|
| Down that river deep
|
| When you’re sittin' in the city large
|
| Just laid back lazy staring to the stars
|
| You’re still just laying right where you are
|
| Where you are, where you are
|
| The beast is bitter, sink its teeth in deep
|
| She’ll bite you while you’re dreamin' send you off to your sleep
|
| And you carry, you carry on down, on down, on down
|
| Down that river deep
|
| You’re sittin' in a hole just a-wonderin' why
|
| Stagnation’s singin' to you like a lullaby
|
| But 'til you move boy there you are
|
| There you are, there you are
|
| The beast is bitter, sink its teeth in deep
|
| She’ll bite you while you’re dreamin' send you off to your sleep
|
| And you carry, you carry on down, on down, on down
|
| Down that river deep |
