Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I broke you in the canyon
I drowned you in the lake
You, the snake that I would trample
Only thing I'd not embrace
[Verse 2]
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away
[Verse 3]
I pushed and then you stumbled
I kicked you in the face
You stared at me so hollow
Got to keep that killin' pace
[Verse 4]
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away
[Verse 5]
I burned the place around you
I hit you with a rake
You piss upon my candle
So proving you're a fake
[Verse 6]
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away
