Peter Wolf - River Runs Dry lyrics

Hit rock bottom On a deep six dive Like a fish outta water Just trying to stay alive Gun totin' blue boys Out on the take Settin' you up Like fattenin' frogs for snakes I said hey hey what do you say It's gonna be alright Hey hey what do you know Hey hey do you say It's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright Juke Joint Jimmie Thought he couldn't be beat Cruisin' round town Like he was king of the street Sirens Screamin' The night came undone Till some one dropped Jimmie With his own gun You can't get blood From a stone You can't borrow timne That's already blown Livin's so easy When you're livin' a lie But you can't swim the river When the river runs dry The river runs dry, hey Just lookin' round here Is makin' me sick This town is tired and broken And too late to fix It's all comin down Brick by brick
