Tongue & Cheek - Sticky Fingers

We’re coming in cheap with the beast out running

Pretty girl, I think you’re stunning

I’d like to take you home, but I fell out my throne

I never had a place to go

The water is free but the taps stopped running

Pretty girl, I think you’re stunning

Just suck it, in tongue and cheek

Because the river runs deep

Well, yes, the river runs deep

I took all my time, I decided to tell

I’d take my own life just to see you in hell

But I am alive, nobody heard you fell

So I threw you a line down a dark wishing well

I heard a noise draw dark aloof

I’m blind but better off than you, my friend

(But I will need you in the end)

A blur got sharp and loud and true

My mind’s made up, I’m here for you, my friend

('Cause you will need me in the end)

'Cause I will need you in the end

I’ll need you in the end

Immortal air in a fresh cool morning

I need to be there when you wake

To the sound of me speaking peace

Put the devil in your sleep

Haunted by the ghost of the man I used to be

Birds fly away into the clouds of unknowing

Titans of Aphrodite, they show not when you’re coming

'Cause you suck it in, tongue and cheek

Because the river runs deep

Yes, the river runs deep

The river runs deep

With all honesty

Yes, the river runs deep

But I’ll tell you, my friend

The river runs deep, yeah, oh
