lyrics

Tak City’s only an hours drive away
You invited me so I could sing some songs and play
There was a girl she was looking at me
We’ve got different tongues but eyes of jealousy

The river goddess spoke softly to the banana tree
When will you ever come to bathe your leaves in me?
When the banana tree fancied the reservoir instead
You see why the river bends

Walking up your stairs for the very first time
I focus on your back, oh, and try to avert my eyes
Away from the life that you live behind closed doors
Anything that reminds me of her

The River Goddess spoke softly to the banana tree
When will you ever come to bathe your leaves in me?
When the banana tree fancied the reservoir instead
You see why the river bends

Whose car is that parked in your driveway?
I never see it on the weekdays
All that remains from these lies that you have spun
Is the boiling masses of my red blood

The River Goddess spoke softly to the banana tree
When will you ever come to bathe your leaves in me?
When the banana tree fancied the reservoir instead
You see why the river bends
