Tongue  Cheek
Sticky Fingers
[Verse 1]
We're coming in cheap with the beast out running
Pretty girl, I think you're stunning
I'd like to take you home, but I fell out my throne
I never had a place to go
The water is free but the taps stopped running
Pretty girl, I think you're stunning
Just suck it, in tongue and cheek

[Chorus]
Because the river runs deep
Well, yes, the river runs deep

[Verse 2]
I took all my time, I decided to tell
I'd take my own life just to see you in hell
But I am alive, nobody heard you fell
So I threw you a line down a dark wishing well
I heard a noise draw dark aloof
I'm blind but better off than you, my friend
(But I will need you in the end)
A blur got sharp and loud and true
My mind's made up, I'm here for you, my friend
('Cause you will need me in the end)
[Chorus]
'Cause I will need you in the end
I'll need you in the end

[Post-Chorus]
Immortal air in a fresh cool morning
I need to be there when you wake
To the sound of me speaking peace
Put the devil in your sleep
Haunted by the ghost of the man I used to be

[Verse 3]
Birds fly away into the clouds of unknowing
Titans of Aphrodite, they show not when you're coming
'Cause you suck it in, tongue and cheek

[Chorus]
Because the river runs deep
Yes, the river runs deep
The river runs deep
With all honesty
Yes, the river runs deep
But I'll tell you, my friend
The river runs deep, yeah, oh
