I went down to the swollen river,
I had no fear of drowning,
I peeped over the bridges barrier,
Into swirling chocolate brown,
I went down the banks so slimy,
Look how it does eddy,
I grabbed the nearest branch right by me
For myself to steady,
Held my head in my two hands,
I felt I was now ready,
Had a little clarity pang
I lost all my sense of dread,
I have no reason to return.
Submerged in water
Up to my waist now
My mind revolves in my head,
Lost my balance
My ankle I did twist,
My fingers frozen red.
I felt like one of those mental ba*tards,
I lost my shoe.
How I've fooled all my a**ociates,
How I loved that shoe,
But it has no reason to return
