Patti Smith Group
Pissing in a River
[Verse 1]
Pissing in a river watching it rise
Tattoo fingers shy away from me
Voices voices mesmerize
Voices voices beckoning sea

[Refrain]
Come, come, come, come back
Come back, come back, come back, come back

[Verse 2]
Spoke of a wheel, tip of a spoon
Mouth of a cave, I'm slave I'm free
When are you coming hope you come soon
Fingers fingers encircling thee

[Refrain]
Come, come, come, come come
Come, come, come, come, come, come, come for me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
My bowels are empty excreting your soul
What more can I give you baby I don't know
What more can I give you to make this thing grow
Don't turn your back now I'm talking to you
[Bridge]
Should I pursue a path so twisted?
Should I crawl defeated and gifted?
Should I go the length of a river
The royal, the throne, the cry me a river
Everything I've done I've done for you
Oh I give my life for you
Every move I made I move to you
And I came like a magnet for you know
What about it you're going to leave me
What about it you don't need me
What about it I can't live without you
What about it I never doubted you
What about it what about it
What about it what about it

[Outro]
Should I pursue a path so twisted?
Should I crawl defeated and gifted?
Should I go the length of a river?
The royal the throne the cry me river
What about it what about it what about it
Oh I'm pissing in a river
