"Everything in a world where clocks run forward,
and the river runs to the sea,
pointed to what we'd been giving
by the fact that we'd been living
between mountain number one and the city.

Everything they said is coming true,
I wish you were here to see
our concern is unaffected
we're concerned that you're connected
just through satellite technology.

And out there,
where you're foolin' around, if you're free,
there's no work to be found.
and your hair - falling into your mouth
and your arms are open wide.

Everything in a world where clocks run slowly,
and rivers don't know the sea,
points you to what keeps you nodding
and away from not a lot
and alot is really nothing to see.

Everything they said is coming true
we're kicking it off on the one.
But, my god, it makes me shiver,
you're still living by the river
when baby we were born to run.

And out there
where you're foolin' around and you're free
there are no works to be found
and your hair falling into your mouth
and your arms are open wide.

And the light has gone dull in your eyes
you're 17
and your friends are your life.

Come with me
just don't want you to die where the river gets you high.

And out there
where you're toolin' around, if you're free,
there's no works to be found.
And your hair falling into your mouth
and your arms are open wide.

And the light has gone out in your eyes.
You're 23 and your friends are your ride.
Come with me
just don't want you to die where the river gets you high."
