Drag The River Lyrics - Singles - Silkworm

Drag the river with a comb that you just bought 

For a dollar at the drugstore on the font 

If you catch a body falling star, falling star 

Is it anybody 'cause those has-beens don't fall far 

Not like a comet shard, not like a bullet shot at a passing car 

Planned from the beginning from the very start 

An arrow through the middle of the truest of hearts 

The night you beat me up, you said it wouldn't last 

And you thought it would sink into the past 

But it never could and it never will 

I drag the river and I feel it still 

That trick sent us into triple overtime and into sudden death 

Certain inconsistencies saved us at the net 

Like that gentle retardation that I never will forget 

I won't forget, not like the time you let, pass you by 

Like a comet in the night with its tail shining bright 

A poker in the face of a dream pursuing sight 

The night you beat me up, you said it wouldn't last 

And you thought it would sink into the past 

But it never could and it never will 

I drag the river and I feel it still 

Salt, sugar, water and grease 

Run through the veins of the local police 

Wide of the target and short of the mark 

Like bears in the corner of a national park 

They don't bark like dogs or howl at the moon like a wolf in the fog 

They never move too fast, too far or too soon 

The night you beat me up, you said it wouldn't last 

And you thought it would sink into the past 

But it never could and it never will 

I drag the river and I feel it still 

A candy coating on the bitterest pill but I taste it
