We made all our walls a bit higher, and thought that our work would be done. Started working for a living, and dying for nothing until all of our money was gone Celebrations would last until morning, then the men they would sleep for the sun. They told all their stories, and they dangled their lies, till all of their whiskey was gone. Then the watchmen said the river was coming, and the men stood and said what they said. They got all their things, their pictures and rings, cause that river has risen again Still the chosen ones stare at their shining, and know they can never be wrong But the rest of still livin, with a bit too much vision would pretend not to see what's to come. Then one day the river subsided, and she left behind much to be done we know were all sands, rain in yesterday's hands, and we all know that river will come And the men they would all run in circles like goldfish who don't have a plan they're taking their things, their pictures and rings cause that river has risen again cause that river has risen again
