a house and they made it a home
And he gave them a mind of his own
Now they watch from high windows,
At night while he's sleeping
They listen, they're creeping
There's a river hiding in Vienna
There's a river flows with
Life's long and full of itself
And we all hitch a ride while we can
Life's longing for itself
And we all hitch a ride while we can
And I don't like to think of
those days that I'll miss
So as contingency, best make a list
I must confess, it's a very long list
Be who you are, do what you love
Look straight ahead, keep your head up
Go to every party, make sure you sleep
Darling, brush your motherfucking teeth
There's a river in Indiana
Life's a longing for itself
And we all hitch a ride while we can
