Green River - Death & Taxes

Middle of the night

Got your head in your hands

Middle of the road

Moonlight and beer cans

Can see it like a movie in my mind

And you make the same mistake every time

Did you see in his eyes when he offered you that ride?

Did you it wrong down inside?

Did you close your eyes and shut out the pain?

When he took you down that river

I want you to stay, stay away

Don’t go down that green river today

Stay away

Don’t go down that green river

Midnight, shadows and red eyes

Blood turns black in the moonlight

Still see your face it’s burned in my mind

You’re twenty-one forever

I want you to stay, stay away

Don’t go down that green river today

Stay away

Don’t go down that green river

When you feel those arms around you

They won’t be mine

With the darkness all around you

They won’t be mine

Well he took you, raper you and left you

There for all to see

Stripped of all your dignity

Middle of the night

Got my head in my hands

I’d wish you’d stay

I wish you’d stay, stay away

Don’t go down that green river today

Stay away

Don’t go down that green river

Stay away

Don’t go down that green river today

Stay away

Don’t go down that green river
