Rapids lyrics

Artist  : Icicle Works 
Song : Rapids



 Send "Rapids" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Vagrant suspicious and quite out of breath

Stumbles into a town where the people wear
frowns

Picks up a paper, the pages are blank

They say, "No news today, no more writers
around"



What price hope over adversity

Cause to applaud this perversity

I'm still deaf from the hydroplanes

Blessed with a cynical gaze



No words in our own defense

Independence our recompense

Fate casting a finer line

To pity or to pay



These rapids we're rolling on

Seem calm when they're good and gone

Love, as good as the house it warms

A million miles between us

Still we're heading the same way



I sing this song with my tongue in my cheek

For the jilted, the jaundiced, the angry young
men

Who somehow believe that the status quo
changes

With juvenile slogans in down market rags



What price hope over adversity

Cause to applaud this perversity

I'm still deaf from the hydroplanes

Blessed with a cynical gaze
