Sends us down, down, down in that stream

My job my house my clothes my whole social scene

So high are the stakes

Sends us down, down, down in that stream
Dm G C Am
And one day, one day, one bright clear day
F G Am
I think we all might just disappear
F G C Am
Sink on down in that river cold and clear, my dear
F G Am
On down like leaves in an icy stream
F G C
On down like leaves to the bottom of an icy stream
