Pissing in a River Songtext
von Patti Smith

Pissing in a river
Watching it rise
Tattoo fingers
Shy away from me
Voices, voices
Mesmerize
Voices, voices
Beckoning sea

Come
Come
Come
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
Come back


Spoke of a wheel
Tip of a spoon
Mouth of a cave
I′m a slave I'm free
When are you coming?
Hope you come soon
Fingers, fingers
Encircling thee

Come (back)
Come (take me back)
Come (back)
Come come
Come come
Come come
Come come
Come for me oh

My bowels are empty
Excreting your soul
What more can I give you?
Baby I don′t know
What more can I give you
To make this thing grow?
Don't turn your back now
I'm talking to you


Should I pursue a path so twisted?
Should I crawl defeated and gifted?
Should I go the length of a river?
The royal, the throne, the cry me a river
Everything I′ve done, I′ve done for you
Oh I give my life for you
Every move I made, I move to you
And I came like a magnet for you now

What about it, you're gonna leave me
What about it, you don′t need me
What about it, I can't live without you
What about it, I never doubted you
What about it?
What about it?
What about it?
What about it?

Should I pursue a path so twisted?
Should I crawl defeated and gifted?
Should I go the length of a river?
The royal, the throne, the cry me a river
What about it?
What about it?
What about it?
Oh, I′m pissing in a river
