To my mistress the bridge,
I don't feel well. I'll be leaving and you can't stop me. We've been
carrying on too long. I'm sorry, but I'm gone. I've got a bad reputation to
think about. I've been dirty, I've been wrong. Maybe someday they'll find
that I've washed up. I'm stepping out to clear my lungs. I'm breathing in to
fill my lungs. We're all dead. Farewell scenic highway overpass. It's better
this way anyways. My lover the river makes a better soldier than a bride.
But I left my heart at the side of her bed and she's got the warmest body
that I've ever had. Drag the lake, you'll find it's full of love. Bring the
children to the water and let them see what heartache did. This matrimony
needs a witness, and you can teach them to swim. Don't let your dreamers
grow up to be dead men. Drown us at birth, save her some time. Drifting on
romantic holiday, breathless as her cold arms cover me. Drag the lake. You
will find it is full of love.
