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 know 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 suprised 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
