[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 a slave, I'm free
When are you coming? Hope you come soon
Fingers, fingers encircling thee
[Refrain]
Come (back), come (take me back), come (back), 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 the 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 moved to you
And I came like a magnet for you, now
Oh, what about it? You're going to leave me
Oh, what about it? You don't need me
Oh, what about it? I can't live without you
Oh, what about it? I never doubted you
(Take me back) What about it?
(Take me back) What about it?
(Take me back) What about it?
(Take me back) What about it?
(Take me back)
[Outro]
Should I pursue a path so twisted?
Should I crawl defeated and gifted?
Should I wade the length of the river?
The royal, the throne, the cry-me-a-river
Oh, what about it? What about it? What about it?
Oh, I'm pissing in a river
