Saturated Lyrics

I've got a bottle of memories and a one way ticket and paint on my new blue jeans

I keep watching the house of cards try to fall into a valley of melted dreams

A personal savior, that's what I want, I try to download her profile

She says, you're not my man, you're just something to haunt

But she stays for a little while

I've got to take my song to the river

Soak it in a muddy tune

I've got to beat the chords against boulders

My God! I've got to get there soon

Hot Molly broke the bathroom window with a towel wrapped around her fist

Crawled out into the April night saying, I've had enough of this

Hitched a ride with a tattooed trucker, trying to go the extra mile

"Only a matter of time," She said, before they put my soul on trial

She had to take her song to the river

Soak it in the muddy tune

Beat the words into gold-dust

My God! She died too soon

An empty wallet and a bottle of rum bought the house just down the street

A swollen finger and a broken thumb always jealous of their feet

Put themselves on a two week diet for a couple of years in style

Asked the banker for a line of credit and then learned the art of denial

They had to take their song to the river

Soak it in a muddy tune

Beat the melody softly

Always awed by the frozen moon

Plastic Jack packed a pile of groceries in a pickup truck at dawn

Left Liza in the hallway crying with her negligee still on

Found his conscience in the glove compartment underneath some greasy rags

Ended up in an institution breathing into paper bags

He had to take his song to the river

Soak it in a muddy tune

Beat the bass-line to death with

Another gunfighter at high noon

She's quite a woman, in her high-heel shoes, but I miss that silent call

When she's holding me in her arms and wearing nothing at all

Right now I feel like a big game hunter, but their ain't no game to kill

I get the feeling that I always knew her, but then again I never will

We've got to take our song to the river

Soak it in a muddy tune

Find each other to cling to

As we're sipping from the silver spoon
