Just Across the River Songtext
von Greg Tannen

What you want to do
What you want to say
Do you want to come
Do you want to find a love that lingers
Do you want a fight
Do you want to die
Do you need a high
A place to crash tonight
And hey son
We all come a little undone
Like pure sun dripping down
Through the fingers
Everybody owns you
Everybody knows you
You want to know what I know?


You′ve been up in the downtown
Down in the uptown
Caressed undressed and slapped around
When your soul aches
When your body shakes
When you think
You ain't got what it takes
Does a little tease
Get you down on your knees
Begging please please please
You want a hero
You gotta say so
You want to get out
Of the freak show

I think I know a place
Just across the river
Let me take you to this place
Just across
The river

Need a quick fix
A little salve for the sick
It′s a cool trick
So you don't hear your life tick
If you could if it does any good
You want to knock on wood
Knock on
Every door that you see
Ain't no sympathy
For a dying breed
Walk down the street like you got the place beat
You don′t want
You don′t need


I think I know a place
Just across the river
Let me take you to this place

You're on your last thread
And staring ahead
Falling to pieces
Like everything he says
Lights on the shoreline
Echoes in your mind
Saying that I′m fine
I'm fine
I′m fine

You get one shot
Better shoot what you got
Like you forgot
What the price is here these days
All alone trying to get a piece of your own
You're rattling bones
Come on
Every door that you see
Ain′t no sympathy
For a dying breed
Walk down the street
Like you got the place beat
You don't want
You don't need

I think I know a place
Just across the river
I think I know a place
Just across the river
Let me take you to this place
Just across
Just across
Just across

What you want to do
What you want to say
Do you want to go
Do you want to stay?
What you want to do
What you want to say
Do you want to go
Do you want to stay?
What you want to do
What you want to say
Do you want to go
Do you want to stay?
