Soon at my river Tigres
I lay my body down
Yes at my river Tigres
That's where I may be found

But you all know I'm clinging
On a very rough sea
To the bedded headfall of my youth
And as I watch you struggle
And drown next to me
Clumsy clawing through your life
And so on you go
But oh, so slow
And tell me
Are we still friends?
I mean, is this your time or mine
Or just a certain death, player?
You don't seem to want to bathe
And so on you go
Oh

Is he your friend?
Does he have money to lend
Or can you crush him in your hand
As if he were a ???
Should my words be flowery
Then the change comes more gradually
Every word, every tone I bring to life
They live on
But they've been sung before
Oh by my river Tigres
I'll tame the saddest brain
That left your gold so bankrupt
And put us all to shame

Yeah let my river Tigres
I'll kiss the painted hand
That sold me into bondage
Then set me free again
Ugh
