One Last Time

I’m going one last time to the river
I’m going one last time
I’m going one last time to this river of mine

I’ll do it one last time to my liver
I’ll do it one last time
I’ll do it one last time to this liver of mine 

They say if you can stomach it, you’re a sweepstakes winner
But if there’s something wrong with it, you’re an outright sinner
They say you’re never innocent, you were born a liar
They get you when your knees are bent and toss you in the fire

They tell me to look to the sky
But the river will never run dry

My back is at the wall again, I’m back at the altar
I know I’m gonna fall again, I’m gonna falter
The light is shining down again, but it looks fluorescent
They wanna wear the crown again and turn us into peasants
