Jimmy's in a lifeboat tryin' to stay afloat
His hands are in his pockets, his heart is in his throat
Jimmy builds a fire on a block of ice
Jimmy's turning left, but the world is turning right
Right
Down around the painted parlor
Out behind the old arcade
Searching for the holy water, gonna cool the pain
Wishing on Egyptian river
Anywhere the river takes
Dirty old river town where the dragon waits
Don't you go down
Jimmy, Jimmy
Where the dragon waits
Don't you go down
Where the dragon waits
♪
Mama says he's crazy, daddy doesn't care
Baby's in the bathroom fixing up his hair
His hair, his hair
Down around the painted parlor
Out behind the old arcade
Searching for the holy water, gonna cool the pain
Wishing on Egyptian river
Anywhere the river takes
Dirty old river town where the dragon waits
Don't you go down
Jimmy, Jimmy
Where the dragon waits
Oh, don't you go down
Jimmy, Jimmy
Where the dragon waits
♪
You never know, you never know, you never know
You never know, you never know, you never know
No, don't you go down
Jimmy, Jimmy
Where the dragon waits
No, don't you go down, down, down, down
Where the dragon waits

You never know, you never know, you never know
You never know, you never know, you never know
You never know, you never know, you never know
You never know, never know, never know
