MIKE RIVER

Lyrics

The black gets hard to wake from lately
The dead cry out to heed the call
A tussled man waves from the coke stand
Wake up where’s my methadone

I keep waiting while life’s riddle changes, and no one’s brought the answers to me yet
If I keep drinking with strung out broken angels, then one day I won’t wake up you can bet

You’re only lonely when you’re wasted
Only hear when I don’t call
Another sober night on main street
Another fucked up night alone

I keep waiting while life’s riddle changes, and no one’s brought the answers to me yet
If I keep drinking with strung out broken angels, then one day I won’t wake up you can bet

When you’re strong I’ll be your weakness
When you’re weak I’ll be your strength
It’s all just pantomime for blind kids
Aboard these wagons we all ride

I keep waiting while life’s riddle changes, and no one’s brought the answers to me yet
If I keep drinking with strung out broken angels, then one day I won’t wake up you can bet
I keep waiting while life’s riddle changes, and no one’s brought the answers to me yet
If I keep drinking with strung out broken angels, then one day I won’t wake up you can bet
