Well, all them girls were talking

'Bout all their boys walking with their big chests

And prideful mouths

Had a friend in Cincinnati who died with a six-shooter

Taped to the roof of his mouth

'Cause his girl was making love to a man

Who'll never give her what she needs

Like a shark in the middle of the big Pacific

She'll eat anything that fucking bleeds

When it gets cold, your love, it comes and goes

Grows with the vines and the trees

Hate that it grows inside my lungs

Freezes up on the rivers and creeks

When it gets high, you're not around

Go to town to get a different look

Deep within the shaking, earthquake in California summer

Oh, I pray you'll never find another

Well, I flew across the ocean

Just humbly hoping I would make it to the other side

'Cause them boots of Spanish leather are only worn

Better when the summon went down to high

When there's nowhere to go and nowhere to call home

I hope you swim on back some day

As the sharks eat all the hearts

That are fallin' in love in San Francisco Bay

When it gets cold, your love, it comes and goes

Grows with the vines and the trees

Hate that it grows inside my lungs

Freezes up on the rivers and creeks

And when it gets high, you're not around

Go to town to get a different look

Deep within the shaking, earthquake in California summer

Oh, I pray you'll never find another

Well, love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek

Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth

Love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek

Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth

Love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek

Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth

Love is just a river, love is just a creek

Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white

Well, love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek

Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth

Love is just a river, yeah, love is just a creek

Leadin' to the slaughter with the big, white teeth
