I got a top hat and a walkin' cane black cat on a golden chain white shirt with a bloody stain I'm going to the river of love She got long hair and big brown eyes she belong there, it was no surprise nothing wrong there, she made me realize goin' to the river of love goin' down to the river of love Oh Holy Water take me down hold me under Oh I feel the power Fill my soul with righteous thunder I was decayed- just like a cavity dismayed by my depravity I got waylaid by all the gravity till we went down to the river of love She is an angel- her name is Tiffany she kind of strange tho but my epiphany I wouldn't change yo cause she is gift to me and she leads me to the river of love we goin' down to the river of love I look around and I see loneliness and hearts so bitter and cold and filled with tawdriness and dark temptations of the soul to cure the emptiness you live with every night and day But I'm here to tell you- that ain't the way you gotta sing it out you gotta reach for the sky until you ring it out and kiss the devil good bye you gotta wrap your arms around the woman you love and raise your eyes to the Lord above yes raise 'em up to the Lord above and say Oh Holy Water take me down hold me under Oh I feel the power Fill my soul with righteous thunder I got tight pants and hight heel boots silk gloves and a striped suit black hair with some silver roots goin' to the river of love goin' down to the river of love
