Run Down the Waterfall Lyrics
I wish you'd just ask me about mercury, so I could answer truthfully. Singing startles the night and the night is over. South of the South Dakota border. The moon is hunting you, and I'm hunting you too. It's not as though you can go to heaven at night. It's not as though you can go in the daylight. It's not as though anything will be all right, "all right." So why do you stay alive when you're left to die? I swear I never tried to try; never tried to run down the waterfall to watch you fall.

oh wow...haha...this is how i feel about one of my ex bf's. i like the last part..."i sweare i never tried to try; never tried to run down the waterfall to watch you fall". thats so perfect.
i think the line "So why do you stay alive when you're left to die?" is about how an ex can linger in your mind for so long, when all he wants is to be gone and it is still there.
also to correct a lyric, it's "it's not so true" instead of "it's not as though"
beautiful song. this album doesn't get much notice...
I thought the lyrics were incorrect too at first, but that's actually how they are printed on the insert. So at some point after he wrote it, he probably started to modify it so it sounded better or had a better flow and just never changed them for the artwork. I like the word choices in the recorded version better. Amazing song.
