Rip It Up Lyrics - James Reyne

This river's running deeper 

Water's cold as ice 

This river's running deeper 

Water's cold as ice 

While we ricocheted from doorways 

And rolled the liar's dice 

Now would you ever hurt me 

Or leave me in the lurch? 

Now would you ever hurt me, baby 

Or leave me in the lurch? 

Do dogs chase after passing cars? 

Do nuns kneel down in church? 

Rushing waters, sleeping daughters 

Rip it up, rip it up 

There's a message from my baby 

Lipstick on the fridge 

There's a message from my baby 

Lipstick on the fridge 

It says, James, don't wait up for me 

Ah, take it to the bridge and drop it in the water 

When I call, I call your name 

You're not there, you're still to blame 

When you're gone, I feel the shame 

When I call, I call your name 

You're not there, you're still to blame 

When your gone I feel the shame 

Rip it up 

You always had a soft spot 

For an educated tongue 

You always had a soft spot baby 

For an educated tongue 

I could've been your Henry Higgins 

Could've been my Pygmalion
