Rusted Root - Cat Turned Blue lyrics

I have never taken Life

Yet I have often paid the price

And you, you are a victim of this age

And the guilt that hangs around your neck

Has got me locked up in a cage

You've got to learn to live until no end

But first you must learn to swim

All over again

Because...

Pain lies on the riverside

And Pain will never say goodbye

Pain Lies on the Riverside

So put you feet in the water

Put your head in the water

Put your soul in the water

And join me for a swim tonight

I have forever, always tried

To stay clean and constantly baptized

I am aware that the river's banks are dry

And to wait for a flood

Is to wait for life

I've got to learn to live until no end

But first I must learn to swim all

Over again,

Because...

Pain lies on the Riverside.
