I got the best horses that they could give me I got an old man to saddle them up, for me It's time to go down To the river Will all my courage In a bright and colorful carriage With no roof, no doors and no black (not a hearse) I've taken the poison It hurts already Here we go now to the river I don't want to be buried Don't follow me 'Cause this is how we do it (This is how we do it) Don't follow me If you care about tradition I let the horses go And now we roll down into the river And I'll slowly get out And float downstream headfirst It will feel like flying, weightless, straight up Until the end of the river It will feel like flying, weightless, straight up Until the end of the river It will feel like flying, weightless, straight up Have you ever seen the fog And thought about its color Doesn't it seem like a place to go and fly away Here we go now to the river
