The River And The Ocean
I am a river in the ocean Particles spread far and thin But I can still remember what I was then Now I am something greater, though less of what I was The day that I discovered I was a river in the ocean I am a bird whistling in the dark Stuck in this cavernous mine When silence falls, you know it's time to start running I am a bird that's never seen much light Stuck in this cavernous ark Soon they'll send me out to look for land And I'll bring back a little bark I am a stroller in the park Wrapped 'round this beautiful babe I and the dark skinned womanpushing me are its slaves I am a stroller in the park Walking my flypaper skin through the balmy august air Which sucks my body's waters from within I am a river in the ocean Particles spread far and thin But I can still remember what I was then Now I am something greater, though less of what I was The day that I discovered I was a river in the ocean SongtexteJust a river in the ocean Just a river in the ocean But I'm waiting for the rainstorm To take me back upstream And I'm waiting for the brainstorn To fill me back to the brim So bring on the lightning This midnight orange sky grows frightening Break the water for me Cause I'm waiting for the rainstorm To take me back upstream And I'm waiting for the brainstorn To fill me back to the brim So bring on the lightning This midnight orange sky grows frightening Break the water for me Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Life is but a dream Life is but a dream Life is but a dream And what's the difference between nothing and everything And what's the difference between noone and everyone And what's the difference between nowhere and everywhere Everything, everyone and everywhere Everything, everyone and everywhere But what's the difference But I'm waiting for the rainstorm To take me back upstream And I'm waiting for the brainstorn To fill me back to the brim So bring on the lightning Bring on the enlightning Break the water for me Aus Songtexte Mania
