The River Lyrics

I divide my age by four to understand what I am

Where's the source of all this suffering ?

Then I add sixty-five years to see what I became

Has all this really a meaning ?

Cause I'll never find a friend among the creatures

That lives in the river of life, I'm drowning

I came because the sky was blue but the water is cloudy and cold



How the fuck would I speak my mind if I must hold my breath ?

I wonder how you can keep complaining

There's no water in your lungs and I am almost deaf

There are too many voices in the river of life, I'm drowning

I came on to wash my face and my soul but the water is dirty and green



Never learned to swim, I don't want to stay naked before you

I don't want to swim naked in the river of life, I'm drowning

I came on that summer day now the water is fragrant and red
