I got the razor at my wrist 'Cause I can't resist I've got this fever burnin' fist That does as I wish But when I get downtown And see what's around I just know there's got to be A better place to be found Oh, god help me The river runs red and I think I'm dyin' Well I knew there'd come a day When my mind would say 'hey are you afraid' Well all I know is that I been down here tryin' Well, I'll bleed on through the night I suppose I'll be dead by the morning light So don't be surprised if you mind when you find me The river runs red and I think I'm dyin' The river runs red and I think I'm dyin' Oh, god help me
