I'm going down to the river
I'm gonna tear off my clothes
I'm gonna swim in the current cause when it dries up
Nobody knows

And I may seal up my fate
Yeah I may step up to die
But lord knows I been dyin' here
Just too scared to fly

The world could end the world could end
The world could end the world could end
The world could end the world could end
And we don't know when we don't know when

There's a man in the reeds
Yeah he's slitherin' down there
Throwin' his venom on the world that I held dear

And now he's drainin' my blood
He's hissing dance or be dead
Well I'm not waitin' to kick up my heels
I heard what he said

The world could end the world could end
The world could end the world could end
The world could end the world could end
And we don't know when we don't know when

You wann wait here, that's your choice
But I heard a higher voice
Heard it callin' out my name
Through my pain
Sayin' come on girl, you wanna dance again?

And if I fall down and no one saves me
That's not the time I need the most
It's when I stand up with my knees shaking
And say please, don't let me go
And say please don't let me go
