there's a river runs through the city that I live in there's a river runs through the city that I know there's a shopping cart in the river in my city there's a lone rain boot that lost its only friend there're a thousand birds in the river in my city they may be the only ones who know where my river ends there are real live fish in the river in my city there are matted plastic bags, now one with little trees there's an unpaved stretch of the river in my city what's buried underneath the rest may stay a mystery "i wouldn't touch that water in the river in your city" that's what some people say, they worry about health that's lifeblood there, that's the river in my city and though it isn't safe, still it flows downstream once I took a trip and saw another city the river there was full of swimming kids there were turtles too in the river in that city I knew I was not alone, and I jumped right in there's a river runs through the city that I live in there's a river runs through the city that I know there's a river runs through the city that I live in there's a river runs through the city that I love

Didn't Care 03:17
i'm in among deep water i don't know if it shows i'll roll around beneath the waves i'm wearing all of my clothes i can feel my heart beat i don't know if i'm cold i'll break things 'til the water flows and then i'm goin home i didn't care about that, didn't care about that my eyes are looking here and there i fell into a hole i don't know which way's right or up but down, yeah, down i know i can't lie here forever i'd lie here if i could if you asked me now i'd tell you that my brain is made of wood i didn't care about that, didn't care about that i'm trapped here, that is certain though no walls hold me in the flames are lapping closer now all i can do is spin i don't forget they're pretty my eyes are open wide if i shut them i'd see such a glow, i wouldn't know if i died i didn't care about that, didn't care about that i feel my body jerk about and then i taste the wind i see the world enlarging now and i can't feel my limbs everything's connected and i can take it in i let the sunlight kiss my face i feel my life begin

my mind on this, knock into a shade of that i see through you is that a fact? i don't forget, but still i leave behind i roll through you dragged along inside my mind broken dollar halfway broken mirror put 'em on my altar and play the good forgiver found a new word a new word has found me and i'll throw away the past if it will be done with me i didn't know too many things to hold the light to say a name to give up something with a fight if i told you now that i choose to be happy would you believe me? i wonder my castle cares my winding backwards haul my see-through shoes it's all slowing to a crawl i get the seal and i slap it on the goods i do my job am i too blind to see the truth? i didn't know too many things to hold the light to say a name to give up something with a fight if i told you know that i choose to be happy would you believe me? i didn't know too many things to hold the light to say a name to give up something with a fight now i'm alone and i'm bright i can't be found but now i know to wail i make a frightful sound
