I go down to the river of life
Every night for a cure
To my worrying mind
Though the drinks are always on the house
They'll be serving you sorrow
Watching you drown
For the man with a curious soul
Every drink has a price
If you swallow it whole
For the ones, who like it strong
Every pill from the draft
Yo'll say

Give me something stronger
Pour some holy water
Baptize me in fire
Bring me something loud

Every night at the river of life
There's a lonely musician selling his strife

In the corner is a lady in black
And a con-artisan is drawing a blank
Every pint is a picture of home
Anf if you're a regular here
You're probably drink alone
For a stiff drink, you're out of luck
Every pill from the draft
You'll say

Give me something stronger
Pour some holy water
Baptize me in fire
Bring me something loud

Give me something stronger
Pour some holy water
Baptize me in fire
Bring me something loud
