I got the razor at my wrist
‘Cause I can’t resist
I’ve got this fever burnin’ fist
That does as I wish
But when I get downtown
And see what’s around
I just know there’s got to be
A better place to be found
I said oh, come on baby, oh, come on
The river runs red and I think I’m dyin’
Well I knew there’d come a day
When my mind would say ‘Hey are you afraid’
Well all I know is that I been down here tryin’
Well, I’ll bleed on through the night
I suppose I’ll be dead by the morning light
No don’t be surprised if you mind when you find me
The river runs red and I think I’m dyin’
The river runs red and I think I’m dyin’…
