Blood River Lyrics

Hurray For The Riff Raff Blood River

i grew up by the river hudson
deep and dark as your feet can sink
stuck inside the project buildings
where the sun can never look at your face

you have had special something
you could hold the sky with your sound
well you had the clouds
and you wanted out
so you blew this town

chorus:
well i'll just stay right here
oh boy
well i'll just stay here
sing me a song
its been too long
just you stay right here


and when i hear that old train whistle sing
i don't bother to look out my window
i know there's no where to run for me

well our faces
they're all cruddy
from the dust you kicked up with your shoes
well you had your way
you just couldn't stay
you just couldn't stay

so don't you come round here
oh boy
don't you come round here
you left your own blood
alone in the mud
don't you come round here


dont you come round here
oh boy
don't you come round here
well you had your way
you just couldn't stay
dont you come round here
