Josephine cracked, her eyes black and bloodied
Screamin' gimme back, back all that money tyrone
So he snapped her neck back
And slapped his lover
Put a bullet in her brain, & threw body off the bridge
(ssssshhhhh)
Well nothin was found 'till the brown river flooded
And driftin down, down went a lifetime of things
Stolen cars; cracked up handguns & bodies
Given back, back to the world up above...
Even if you don't want it
Even if you don't want it
Even if you don't want it
Hey baby someday it comes back
The rivers muddy guts backed up, exploded
Spillin' out facts... fast & a lot
Spillin out the facts of the citiy's dirty secrets
Like a city surfacing from out of the black....
Driftin' down, down went a lifetime of secrets
Driftin' down, down went a lifetime of things
Stolen cars, train tracks, haz mats & bodies
Given back, back to the world up above...
A bag of dead kittens
And mufflers and engines
An army of rats & colt 45
Bottles and tires & shipwrecks
& trashcans
A porcelain jesus & your old christmas trees
(all) busted and rotten, dismembered, forgotten
Borrowed or stolen, purchased or hot
Brokedown and useless
Rusting, disgusting
On an unwelcome comeback
Are you ready or not?
Even if you don't want it
Even if you don't want it
Even if you don't want it....
Hey baby someday it comes back
