death drums along the river - mark lanegan lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
wouldn’t i miss a life to save
to my memories, i have been a slave
can’t sleep for the radio
red christmas lights from mexico

[bridge 1]
oh, to drink that dirty water
oh, to sleep with burning sand
only just protect my children
death drums beat along the river

[verse 2]
dear lord, do you come to take me?
spare me over ’til new year’s morning
one last night and i’ll be ready
but now i’m shaking so unsteady

[bridge 2]
i would ride a camel
i will hitch a ride
three men walk up to a manger
and hear a baby start to cry

[verse 3]
what did i have? a razor blade
to a life of crime, i was a slave
that infernal constant static
turned from lame into fanatic
[bridge 3]
oh, to bathe in dirty water
oh, to find some shade to sleep
oh, to sleep that foreign country
death drums beat along the river
death drums beat along the river

[verse 4]
lord, i feel you here to take me
you are here to take me home
can you spare some ayahuasca
i don’t want to go alone

[bridge 4]
i swear i’ll come over
i’ll not miss my final ride
i’ll stash myself some transportation
i’ll not miss my day to die

i’ll will not miss my day to die

[verse 5]
what did i see? a life to save
to my memories i had been a slave
can’t sleep for the radio
and christmas lights from mexico
[bridge 5]
oh, to wear a clean suit
oh, to say that i am sorry
oh, to step upon the gallows
death drums beat along the river
death drums beat along the river
death drums beat along the river
death drums beat along the river

[outro]
what did i hear? a life to save
