Drinking From The River Songtext
von Steven James Adams

Like an animal in a sack
With your paws behind your back
At the cash register
You could be a coward
If that′s what it takes
You know everyone makes mistakes
That's what you tell yourself every day
And if you stop scratching your mark on the walls
′Cause that activity no longer enthrals
Something else will have taken its place

Drinking from the river
Until it runs dry
You're howling at the moon
And you don't know why


Two fingers up at the law
One chosen carefully from each paw
For maximum impact
We see you out spraying the lamp posts and trees
Every evening before you sleep
It′s the twilight piss patrol

Drinking from the river
Until it runs dry
Howling at the moon
And you don′t know why
When you forget where you buried your bone
You go digging for another one
Further from home all night
You're still howling at the moon
And you don′t know why

Sometimes you need to rest for a while
It takes time to catch you up
But it wears you out
And now you need to rest for a while


Like an animal on a chain
Let your neck take the worst of the strain
When you're losing your sense of place
You could be a coward
And no one would know
The dancing lion at the end of the show
Or what you tell yourself every day

Drinking from the river
Until it runs dry
Howling at the moon
And you don′t know why
When you forget where you buried your bone
You go digging for another one
Further from home all night
You're still howling at the moon
And you don′t know why
You're still howling at the moon
And you don't know why
You′re still howling at the moon
And you don′t know why
