It hasn't rained in so long
Just take up the lines
Bring the beast back home
Tonight we'll wake up the house
Call the lovers down to fight
Just take up your knives
And go back to bed
You know real life, real life is just a wayward path

And it's too hot
Wake up, wake up
Or the river dies tonight
Drink up, drink up
Before the river runs dry

You haven't sang in so long
Just pick up your wings
Fly yourself back home
Tonight
Don't wait for the light
To fall across the earth
It's time to realize, realize
Love is a broken land

And it's too hot
Wake up, wake up
Or the river dies tonight
Drink up, drink up
Before the river runs dry
Before the river, before the river runs dry
Before the river, before the river runs dry
