When you're livin' in a town like this
It's easy to sit back and just forget
That the world keeps on spinnin' round and round
Round and round, round and round
The beast is bitter, sink its teeth in deep
She'll bite you while you're dreamin', send you off to your sleep
And you carry, you carry on down, on down, on down
Down that river deep
When you're sittin' in the city large
Just laid back lazy starring to the stars
You're still just laying right where you are,
Where you are, where you are
The beast is bitter, sink its teeth in deep
She'll bite you while you're dreamin' send you off to your sleep
And you carry, you carry on down, on down, on down
Down that river deep
You're sittin' in a hole just a-wonderin' why
Stagnation's singin' to you like a lullaby
But 'til you move boy there you are
There you are, there you are
The beast is bitter, sink its teeth in deep
She'll bite you while you're dreamin' send you off to your sleep
And you carry, you carry on down, on down, on down
Down that river deep
