The river is mad
Up in the town
Where I was born
Where I was born

Time is weird
When you are near
The starting point
The starting point

The river is loud
And dead is the town
Where I am now
Where I am now

Time is real
If you can hear
The rush of the stream
The rush of the stream

I know all I wanna know
Is stuff in the middle
I know all I wanna know
Is stuck in a signal

How am I the child
Of such a big compromise?

The river is mad
Up in the town
Where I was born
Where I was born

Time is weird
When you are near
The starting point
The starting point

I know all I wanna know
Is stuff in the middle
I know all I wanna know
Is stuck in a signal
