Run Down The Waterfall

(album: 30° Everywhere - 1996)

I wish you'd just ask me about mercury
So I could answer truthfully
Singing startles the night and the night is over

It's not so true that you could go to heaven at night
It's not so true that you could go in the daylight
It's not so true that everything will be all right
All right, all right

Why do you stay alive when you're left to die?
And why do you try
Why do you stay alive when you're left to die?

It's not so true that you could go to heaven at night
It's not so true that you could go in the daylight
It's not so true that everything will be all right
All right, all right

Why do you stay alive when you're left to die?
And why do you try
Why do you stay alive when you're left to die?
I swear I never tried to try

Never tried to run down the waterfall to watch you fall
South of the South Dakota border
The moon is out hunting you, I'm hunting you too

Why do you stay alive when you're left to die?
And why do you try
Why do you stay alive when you're left to die?
I swear I never tried to try

Never tried to run down the waterfall
