Из альбома: What I Did After My Band Broke Up
Leaning over shaky ground and daring it to bring me down
Dancing on the edge of darkness, wondering if I’ll ever drown
When they tip the house of cards, I’ll do my best to act surprised
Standing on the riverside and waiting for the tide to rise
Watching all the ships go by with fire rising from the deck
Scavengers leave empty handed, nothing left aboard the wreck
The promise of all the gold was just the devil in disguise
Standing on the riverside and waiting for the tide to rise
Juggler and a joker, preacher and a petty thief
All walked into a bar, looking for some sweet relief
Said the preacher to the thief, «We're all the same in his eyes
When we’re standing by the riverside, waiting for the tide to rise»
The revolution did go as planned
Done in by timing, finished by the hand of man
Termites and maggots delighted in the things they found
I wonder why it took so long to bring them down
