River in the Road
Queens Of The Stone Age · Era Vulgaris [2007]
Grab what slips your mind
And what your memory won't hold
Run, darling run
I'll stall them if I can
You'll escape and I'll be left rotting on the vine
Run,
Run darling, run
I'll stall them if I can
You'll escape and I'll be left rotting on the vine
Avert the children's eyes, forget left untold
Don't look back to see the blood
River in the road
Lets seek revenge with my blood
River in the road
River in the Road
