Pissing in a river lyrics

Artist  : Patti smith 
Song : Pissing in a river
 

Pissing in a river, watching it rise 
Tattoo fingers shy away from me 
Voices voices mesmerize 
Voices voices beckoning sea 
Come come come come back come back 
Come back come back come back 

Spoke of a wheel, tip of a spoon 
Mouth of a cave, I`m a slave I`m free. 
When are you coming ? Hope you come soon 
Fingers, fingers encircling thee 
Come come come come come come 
Come come come come come come for me oh 

My bowels are empty, excreting your soul 
What more can I give you ? Baby I don`t know 
What more can I give you to make this thing grow?

Don`t turn your back now, I`m talking to you 

Should I pursue a path so twisted ? 
Should I crawl defeated and gifted ? 
Should I go the length of a river 
[The royal, the throne, the cry me a river] 
Everything I`ve done, I`ve done for you 
Oh I give my life for you. 
Every move I made I move to you, 
And I came like a magnet for you now. 

What about it, you`re gonna leave me, 
What about it, you don`t need me, 
What about it, I can`t live without you, 
What about it, I never doubted you 
What about it ? What about it ? 
What about it ? What about it ? 

Should I pursue a path so twisted ? 
Should I crawl defeated and gifted ? 
Should I go the length of a river, 
[The royal, the throne, the cry me a river] 
What about it, what about it, what about it ? 
Oh, I`m pissing in a river.
