lyrics

you're a golden boy
every one wants your toys
you're a superman
every one follows your plan
in the eyes of the beholder
you are so much bolder
but i know you sold her
down the river
to me

she's a broken toy
all played out of joy
you can forget her name
but she'll never be the same
swept under the rug
after you promised her love
and sold her with a shrug
right down the river
to me

and we lie like stones
when we babble like brooks
and we try to mend our bones
from the scornful crooks
we're in debt up to our eyes
we know the price of life
we swim like the fishes
they know only wishes
are free

you're a golden boy
gilded with brand new toys
down here on this land
we make do with mud and sand
castles to the sky
wash away with the tide
and the tears in her eyes
come right down the river
to me

and her heart sinks like a stone
and her dreams are all broken bones
an angel loses her wings
and a blue bird forgets how to sing
then like logs in the water
they come down the river
to me
