[Verse 1]
I was the river's smile
Coursing through your mind
Keeping your speech in tune while I wrestled the fire
We were golden (I hear you're coming 'round again)
Drinking nights away (I feel you sleeping in my bones)
Singing for the ages (You're here to bring me back to earth)
We've been singing lives away for years

[Chorus]
And there's nothing here
But your sex and drugs
You're always selling me out, keeping me down
You mountebank
And there's nothing here
But your sex and drugs
You know I can't resist the world

[Verse 2]
We've been on the streets (You know I'm coming 'round again)
Waking up for the first time
Getting closer (You know I'm coming 'round again)
Ever closer (You'll feel me sleeping in your mind)
To the end of our demise (I'm here to bring you back to God, to God)

[Chorus]
And there's nothing here
But your sex and drugs
You're always selling me out, keeping me down
You mountebank
And there's nothing here
But your sex and drugs
You know I can't resist the world
[Outro]
Shake off the need to be sober
Show them that they can mean something
We are supplement to everything in sequence
Shake off the need for mutuality
There's no real love in this business
Bypass the need for a come-down
It's all what you believe
So they say
