Big Mother Gig Running Rivers lyrics
Running Rivers
Big Mother Gig
GENRE They could make rivers, lakes and oceans
From the generations of drink that resulted in me
They fled from wars and persecution, poverty and boredom
From places that don’t exist anymore
They met others that were just like them, found things they had in common
Like a thirst that couldn’t be quenched
They had babies who then had babies from New York to Chicago
Leaving a bloodline of those who fled
And so they ran just like I ran
And if they slowed down to look around it found them
And so they ran just like I ran
And if they pause just for moment, it would surround them
They moved me North, to keep me from falling down
Like they did, but you can’t escape where you come from
One by one they all died from cancer, when they finally lost their battle
This lineage always ends the same
Just like them I found my poisons, I fought for my right to take in
More serotonin
And just like them it never filled, my bucket was always spilled
And as soon as I had the chance, I packed it up
And I ran just like they ran
And if I slowed down to look around it found me
And so I ran just like they ran
Cuz if I pause just for moment, it would surround me
From the generations of drink that resulted in me
They fled from wars and persecution, poverty and boredom
From places that don’t exist anymore
They met others that were just like them, found things they had in common
Like a thirst that couldn’t be quenched
They had babies who then had babies from New York to Chicago
Leaving a bloodline of those who fled
And so they ran just like I ran
And if they slowed down to look around it found them
And so they ran just like I ran
And if they pause just for moment, it would surround them
They moved me North, to keep me from falling down
Like they did, but you can’t escape where you come from
One by one they all died from cancer, when they finally lost their battle
This lineage always ends the same
Just like them I found my poisons, I fought for my right to take in
More serotonin
And just like them it never filled, my bucket was always spilled
And as soon as I had the chance, I packed it up
And I ran just like they ran
And if I slowed down to look around it found me
And so I ran just like they ran
Cuz if I pause just for moment, it would surround me
