Patti Smith - Pissin' In A River (Live On KCRW 2000-04-14) Lyrics
Pissing in a river, watching it riseTattoo fingers shy away from meVoices voices mesmerizeVoices voices beckoning seaCome come come come back come backCome back come back come backSpoke of a wheel, tip of a spoonMouth of a cave, I'm a slave I'm free.When are you coming ? Hope you come soonFingers, fingers encircling theeCome come come come come comeCome come come come come come for me ohMy bowels are empty, excreting your soulWhat more can I give you ? Baby I don't knowWhat more can I give you to make this thing grow?Don't turn your back now, I'm talking to youShould 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 youOh I give my life for you.Every move I made I move to you,And I came like a magnet for you now.What about it, you're gonna 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 youWhat about it ? What about it ?What about it ? What about it ?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]What about it, what about it, what about it ?Oh, I'm pissing in a river.
