Drag The River Lyrics

Drag The River - Silkworm

Written by:Andy Cohen/Tim Midgett/Michael Dahlquist

 

Drag the river with a comb that you just bought

For dollar at drugstore on the font and

If you catch a body falling star falling star

Is it anybody 'cause those has beens don't fall far

 

Not like a comet shard

Not like a bullet shot

At a passing car

Planned from the beginning from the very start

 

An arrow through the middle of the truest of hearts

 

The night you beat me up

 

You said it wouldn't last

And you thought it would sink into the past

But it never could

And it never will

I drag the river and I feel it still

 

That trick sent us into triple overtime

 

And into sudden death

 

Certain inconsistencies saved us at the net

Like that gentle retardation that I never will forget

I won't forget

 

Not like the time you let pass you by

 

Not like a comet in the night in the night

With it's tail shining bright

A poker in the face of a dream pursuing sight

The night you beat me up

 

You said it wouldn't last

And you thought it would sink into the past

But it never could

And it never will

I drag the river and I feel it still and a jhokse

 

Salt sugar water and grease

Run through the veins of the local police

 

Wide of the target

And short of mark

Like bears in the corner of a national park

They don't bark like dogs

Or howl at the moon like a wolf in the fog

 

They never move too fast

 

Too far or too soon

The night you beat me up

 

You said it wouldn't last

And you thought it would sink into the past

But it never could

 

And it never will

I drag the river and I feel it still

 

 

A candy coating on the bitterest pill but I taste it
