Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, oh
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'til the end
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'til the end
Yes, the river knows
Please believe me
If you don't need me
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in masticated wine
Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, oh
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in masticated wine
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'til the end
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'til the end
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, oh
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'til the end
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'til the end
Yes, the river knows
Please believe me
If you don't need me
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in masticated wine
Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, oh
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in masticated wine
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'til the end
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'til the end

it actually is "mystic heated wine", listen carefully
I agree, and would add that I've always thought it was a reference to Shakespeare's Richard III, when Clarence is drowned in a butt of malmsey.<br /> <br /> The group frequently had obscure allusions. And malmsey is heated during fermentation. I believe that such a reference would be in character with a group that would also refer to Frazer's The Golden Bough.
