i was born by the river
so i know where the river runs dry
i couldn't last forever
accused just for living
but i know that the living was right
i couldn't last forever
look at me making movies
making living like i've never lived before
and the people wanting out of the river
like a poor boy really should
now i can sit and stand it
like other people do
what you do for me i'll do for you, yeah
now i can sit and stand it
like other people do
what is blue for me, is blue for you
there's a man who i know
you know he's got a fist full of dirty dollars
and i know they won't last forever
does he really know what people are saying
always feeling sure what he is there saying
but the other's disappear he was alone
now i can sit and stand it
like other people do
what you do for me i'll do for you
now i can sit and stand it
like other people do
what is blue for me, is blue for you
i go back to the river
cause i know where the river runs dry
i couldn't last forever
take the night making movies
like a villain never ever seen the night of day
don't you know that i can't last forever
now i can sit and stand it
like other people do
what you do for me i'll do for you
now i can sit and stand it
like other people do
what is blue for me, is blue for you
now i can sit and stand it
like other people do
what is blue for me, is kind of blue for you, yeah
hello i'm going down
you know i don't want to wear no pretty crown
help people i'm going down |
