Stand back - get back,
She'll paint your blue skies black.
She gives bullet proof protection,
Got a resurrection feel.
When I'm scared, and 'bout to lose,
She gives me travelling shoes.
She's a river and she's turning in front of me.
And I go blind,
Wasting my time,
While the rivers in front of me,
That's where I'm goin' to be.

Shine on, get on,
Twilight from dusk to dawn.
She's the spirit of creation,
She's the last chance guarantee.
Got a myriad of poses,
Sweet miracles and roses,
She's a river and she's turning in front of me.

'Cause when I find,
My state of mind.
The river's in front of me.

They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms,
So take me on that freedom ride.
My heart is like a hunter's in the silent moon,
My nerves just feel electrified.
Meet me on the staircase,
Outside a darkened room,
Light me like a naked flame.
The voice of Mother Nature states,
All things must pass,
And nothing can remain.
They say that every heaven's got a thousand rooms,
So take me on that freedom ride.

You raise me like a building to the very top,
Rush me to the end of time.
You fill me full of danger,
You give me future shock,
Then you leave me wasted dying.

And I go blind,
Wasting my time,
The river's in front of me.
