Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the mouth of the river
On the mouth of the river
On the mouth of the river
[Verse 2]
I wanna live a life like that
Live the life of the faithful one
Wanna bow to the floor
With everybody else wanna be someone
I wanna make some love
I don't want no enemies
I was a curse of a man
I was living life, living life, living just to please
[Verse 3]
On the mouth of the river
And the wrath of the giver
With the hands of a sinner
On the mouth of the river
On the mouth of the river
And the wrath of the giver
With the hands of a sinner
On the mouth of the river
[Verse 4]
Sick, oh, I'm alkaline
I'm always, "Keep it to the basics"
I'm overboard, I'm self-destructive
And self-important
And I'm anxious
Oh, I'm self-assured
I'm nervous and I'm pacing
Oh, I'm pacing
[Verse 5]
On the mouth of the river
And the wrath of the giver
With the hands of a sinner
On the mouth of the river
On the mouth of the river
And the wrath of the giver
With the hands of a sinner
On the mouth of the river
[Verse 6]
(Mouth, mouth, mouth of the river)
(Mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth of the river)
(Mouth, mouth, mouth of the river, river, river)
On the mouth of the river
(Mouth, mouth, mouth of the river) River
(Mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth of the river)
(Mouth, mouth, mouth of the river, river, river) River
On the mouth of the river
[Verse 7]
And I am going under
Oh, I am going under
I am going under
Oh, I am going under
I am going under
Oh, I...
[Verse 8]
On the mouth of the river
And the wrath of the giver
With the hands of a sinner
On the mouth of the river
On the mouth of the river
And the wrath of the giver
With the hands of a sinner
On the mouth of the river
[Verse 9]
(Mouth, mouth, mouth of the river)
(Mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth of the river)
(Mouth, mouth, mouth of the river, river, river)
On the mouth of the river
(Mouth, mouth, mouth of the river) River
(Mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth of the river)
(Mouth, mouth, mouth of the river, river, river) River
On the mouth of the river
