The Manchester Orchestra - The River Lyrics

I fought the Spirit with a sword in my side
Cheat...What a way out.
Crack my rib, wait to die,
I think I know you the best when I sleep
I think I know everything
Me and my brothers, we have tongues sharp as knives
I found a way out, make a noise, close your eyes
I think I talk to you best when I sing
I sing about almost everything

Oh God I need it
So let me sing agian.
Take me to the river
And let me see again
Oh my God
Let me see again
Oh my God

Let me see again (2x)

Grace taught a debtor
Daily I'm starined to be
God how I feel it
Fetter pride to Your feet

I'm going to leave You the first chance I get (4x)

Oh God I need it
Well I was wrong again
Take me to the river
And make me clean again

Oh my God
Make me clean again
Oh my God
Let me see again.

-Hidden Track-
God knows you're on my mind
I can try to tell him otherwise
God knows its only time
Before I break the chain in my eyes
The fear keeps you hard in at night
The creatures play ball outside
The chances are slim we are right
But I'd never think it any otherwise
So we'll find the answers in time
When the bodies pile up sky high
And i'll sail the ship towards the sky
With the wind all alone on the other side
If you could pull that rope just a little higher
We would dangle alone like a firefly
So Jimmy I've heard the voice of god
And he whispered fear is logical
And he said it's magic wonderful
He swears to him its wonderful
And the lake you speak of is magical
So I skip stones on it practical
And I make sure that we're both wonderful
You are brother and thats alright
We're brothers, it makes it right
Cause his blood is so red in spite
Of the way that our sharp teeth bite
In each other during the night
With the creatures that play outside
Cause Jimmy I've heard the voice god
And he whispered fear is logical
And the words that we heard aren't repeatable
With the thought that could kill comprehendible
And we're brothers and thats alright
Yeah we're brothers and thats alright
Yeah we're brother until we die.
