Acheron River by The Lawrence Arms Lyrics

[Verse #1]
It’s an inorganic rehash of a process so profound
It’s a thousand freshly sharpened stakes dug deep into the ground
It’s the heads of all dissenters and a distant plume of smoke
And I hope those fuckers choke

[Verse #2]
Did you hear the dead, decaying circus lumbering ahead?
Did you see the starving elephants or did you turn away instead?
Man, I’m so high and lonely at the bottom of the hill
Never thought I’d lose it but it’s looking like I will

[Chorus]
Get out, get out, get out ropes, get out the stones and let's get low
Get out, get out, get out the way I'm drowning this mortal soul
Take me out to the river, take me to where all poisons flow
And let's ride that fucker home
Woah, woah

[Verse #3]
Season seven of the worst show that I’ve ever seen
Starts around eleven and it stars a weary me
I don’t try to shake shit up
I don’t bitch or give a fuck
I’m just on this train and stuck
In several thousand different ruts
[Verse #4]
Well, here’s the part where everybody’s drinking just to die
Here’s the part where everyone’s got bloodshot, blackened eyes
Here’s the fucking spoiler: everybody dies
We fuck it hard all goddamn night. You’re goddamn right

[Chorus]
Get out, get out, get out ropes, get out the stones and let's get low
Get out, get out, get out the way I'm drowning this mortal soul
Take me out to the river, take me to where all poisons flow
And let's ride that fucker home
Woah, woah

[Bridge]
So baby if I’m dying can I have another round?
I know, but I want one even if I don’t need it now
I’m dying high and lonesome here at the end of all my days

[Chorus]
Get out, get out, get out ropes, get out the stones and let's get low
Get out, get out, get out the way I'm drowning this mortal soul
Take me out to the river, take me to where all poisons flow
And we'll ride that fucker home
