And the water runs through the city
Underneath the street
Flowing faster, faster than the rats
Try to keep up, oh I try to keep up
But the currents movin'. currents movin' too fast
Try to keep up to you, to you
Now you're heart is beating to a different drum tonight
My arms have ripped pages and we're searching for a man of the cloth
I don't want to be there if you're not gonna be there
I'm just looking for a way out tonight

I won't wait for you, if you don't want me to, it's true
Oh, baby it's true
I won't wait for you, if you don't want me to, it's true
Oh, baby it's true

My mamma told me don't you believe what they're telling you son
You don't know where you're gonna go but you tell your sister to leave you alone
Remember when we ???
We were friends, a couple of ???

I won't wait for you, if you don't want me to, it's true
Oh, baby
I won't wait for you, if you don't want me to, it's true
Oh, baby it's true
