Moves like a fist through the trafficAnger and no one can heal itShoves a little bump into the momentumJust a little lump but you feel itIn the creases and the shadowsWith a rattling deep emotionThe cool, cool riverSweeps the wild, white oceanYes boss, the government handshakeYes boss, the crusher of languageYes boss, Mr. StillwaterThe face at the edge of the banquetThe cool, the cool riverThe cool, the cool riverI believe in the futureI shall live in my carMy radio tuned toThe voice of a starSong dogs barking at the break of dawnLightning pushes the edge of a thunderstormAnd these old hopes and fearsStill at my sideAnger and no one can heal itSlides through the metal detectorLives like a mole in a motelA slide in a slide projectorThe cool, cool riverIt sweeps the wild, white oceanAnd the rage, the rage of love turns inward toTo become prayers of devotionThese prayers are the constant road across the wildernessThese prayers are, these prayers are the memory of GodThe memory of godAnd I believe in the futureWe shall suffer no moreMaybe not in my lifetimeBut in yours, I feel sureSong dogs barking at the break of dawnLightning pushes the edges of a thunderstormAnd these streets, quiet as a sleeping armySend their battered dreamsTo heaven, heavenFor the mother's restless sonWho is a witness to, who is a warriorWho denies his urge to break and runWho says, Hard times? I'm used to themThe speeding planet burns, I'm used to thatMy life's so common it disappearsAnd sometimes even music cannot substitute for tearsSometimes even music cannot substitute for tears
