River

[00:01.17] I've been a liar, been a thief

[00:03.67] Been a lover, been a cheat

[00:05.92] All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me

[00:11.67] Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something

[00:15.67] If all it's gonna cause is pain

[00:18.42] Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain

[00:21.92] So let the river run

[00:23.17] He's comin' home with his neck scratched, to catch flack

[00:26.17] Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatched

[00:28.67] On his breath's Jack, he's a sex addict

[00:30.42] And she just wants to exact revenge and get back

[00:33.17] It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jet-pack

[00:36.17] She's kept track of all his Internet chats

[00:38.17] And guess who just happens to be movin' on to the next

[00:40.92] Actually, just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks

[00:44.67] 'Cause she loves danger, psychopath

[00:47.17] And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that

[00:49.92] But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back

[00:52.42] Knife in hand, says their relationship's hangin' by a strand

[00:55.67] So she's been on the web lately

[00:57.17] Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man

[01:00.92] And I know she's using me to try to play him, I don't care

[01:03.56] Hi Suzanne, but I shoulda said "Bye Suzanne"

[01:05.56] After the first night, but tonight I am

[01:07.81] I've been a liar, been a thief

[01:10.31] Been a lover, been a cheat

[01:12.81] All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me

[01:18.31] Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something

[01:22.31] If all it's gonna cause is pain

[01:24.81] The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain

[01:28.56] So let the river run

[01:29.81] A one-night stand turned a two-night stand

[01:31.81] It was "come sunlight, scram," now we hug tight, and...

[01:34.81] He found out, now she feels deserted and used

[01:37.31] 'Cause he left, so what? He did it first to her too

[01:40.06] Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through?

[01:42.81] It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous, and Sue

[01:45.31] Don't want this to hurt, but what you deserve is the truth

[01:47.56] Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in person to you

[01:51.31] So I revert to the studio, like hole-in-the-wall diners

[01:54.31] Don't have to be reserved in a booth

[01:56.06] I just feel like the person who I'm turning into's

[01:58.56] Irreversible, I preyed on you like it's church at the pew

[02:01.31] And now that I got you I don't want you

[02:03.06] Took advantage in my thirst to pursue

[02:05.06] Why do I do this dirt that I do?

[02:06.56] Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon and speech

[02:09.06] Detergent and bleach is burnin' the wound

[02:11.06] 'Cause now with her in the womb

[02:12.81] We can't bring her in this world, shoulda knew

[02:14.56] To use protection 'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit

[02:17.06] Fuck!

[02:17.81] I've been a liar, been a thief

[02:19.56] Been a lover, been a cheat

[02:22.31] All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me

[02:27.56] Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something

[02:31.56] If all it's gonna cause is pain

[02:34.06] The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain

[02:37.81] So let the river run

[02:39.06] My name's (ooh), my name's (ooh)

[02:41.56] River (ooh), river run

[02:44.31] Call me (ooh), call me (ooh)

[02:46.81] River (ooh), we'll let the river run

[02:50.20] Always the bridesmaid, never "The bride, hey!"

[02:52.45] Fuck can I say? If life was a highway

[02:54.95] And deceit was an enclave, I'd be swerving in five lanes

[02:57.95] Speeds at a high rate, like I'm slidin' on ice, maybe

[03:00.95] That's why I may have came at you sideways

[03:03.20] I can't keep my lies straight

[03:04.95] But I made you terminate my baby

[03:07.70] This love triangle left us in a wreck, tangled

[03:10.45] What else can I say? It was fun for a while

[03:12.45] Bet I really woulda loved your smile

[03:14.45] Didn't really wanna abort, but fuck it

[03:16.70] What's one more lie, to tell our unborn child?

[03:18.95] I've been a liar, been a thief

[03:21.20] Been a lover, been a cheat

[03:23.70] All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me

[03:28.95] Well, little one (I'm sorry)

[03:30.45] I don't want to admit to something (I fucked up)

[03:32.95] If all it's gonna cause is pain

[03:35.70] The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain

[03:39.20] So let the river run
