There's a river no one can swim
At least nobody who's careful
Of getting dirty and staining their skin
You're on your own without a paddle
It's known to ruin a vacation
You see the river's got a goal of it's own
It comes and goes without a warning
A losing battle in the southern zone
Nobody wins nobody's scoring
Systems failing systems failing now
Oh smooth sailing no smooth sailing
Gone for seven days
There ain't a calm before this kind of storm
In fact it's worse before it floods in
And even if the currents kind of warm
The coldest shoulders leave you struggling
Systems failing systems failing now
Oh smooth sailing no smooth sailing
Gone for seven days
The end is only temporary relief
The river takes a break from racing
But followed by a period so brief
Returns the hell we're used to facing
Back to ruin a vacation
