Patti Smith Group — Pissing in a River

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