The Black River Song Lyrics

Slowly I fall with the rain & the future looks grim once again
Bottles and pills ? I'm up on the hills
Stuck with a ball and a chain
This city is so obsolete ? the drunks they fuck up on the streets
But that's the way it goes when you're down in Västerås
Sick of life ain't that a treat
Straight out of nowhere ? it's coming on fast
I sit here and wonder how long will it last
Some of my best friends are gone
And the others don't know where they belong

So light up the sky ? the beat must go on
Raise my glass for the black river song
And drink all my problems away
Tomorrow is just another day
Lonely & hammered at night and true love is way out of sight
A broke working class will shove it up your ass
But I know it won't make it alright
Straight out of nowhere ? it's coming on fast
I sit here and wonder how long will it last
Some of my best friends are gone
And the others don't know where they belong
So light up the sky ? the beat must go on
Raise your glass for the black river song
And drink all your problems away
Tomorrow is just another day
Let the punishment finally begin ? for a life I traded for sin
Yeah,I sure paid the cost for a love that I lost
Strung out with a bottle of Gin
So light up the sky ? the beat must go on
Raise your glass for the black river song
And drink all your problems away
Tomorrow is just another day
