All the places that you’ve seen
Wrapped in water color dreams
And the stock you placed in what you lost
The cuts that made you bleed
And the overbearing clouds
That never let you out
From under storms until the world
Would start to grind you down
They took the names
They took the names
They took them down to the river
And they washed them all away
Took the names
They took the names
They took them down to the river
And they washed them all away
All the places and the scenes
That make up your waking dreams
Can align them self with wind that leaves
You hanging from the tree
And your bloody from the reeds
You’re the animal that feeds
On the taste of caustic chemicals
The doubters all agree
They took the names
They took the names
They took them down to the river
And they washed them all away
Took the names
They took the names
They took them down to the river
And they washed them all away
The climb is harder than the fall
And you’re tumbling down again.
And it’s raining from the leaves
The sky is red and green
The levee’s under water
And the ocean starts to scream
All the water colors bleed
And nothings as it seems
And the by and by will hold you
And the angles sigh relief
Took the names
They took the names
They took them down to the river
And they washed them all away
Took the names
They took the names
They took them down to the river
And they washed them all away
All away.. .
