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



I said oh, come on baby, oh, come on

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

No 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'...
