I fall asleep in an easy chair by the banks of a large river.
The river?s wide and the water is high.
Darkest blue lift me and take me there.
Gliding by now baby you are my guide.
Skin of thorns like a heavenly crown.
Now you bind me, hanging upside down.
I try to struggle but you hold me down.

Going way down, down below the river.

I watch you wake me now, smooth, no sound.
My spinning head and my heavy thighs.
Did you travel with your hand in mine?
Steel and serpent savior, just in time.

Going way down, down below the river.

No, you?re never going to do me again.
