Josephine cracked, her eyes black and bloodied
Screamin', 'Gimme back, back all that money, Tyrone'
So he snapped her neck back and slapped his lover
Put a bullet in her brain and threw her body off the bridge

Well, nothin' was found 'til the Brown River flooded
And driftin' down, down went a lifetime of things
Stolen cars, cracked up, handguns and bodies
Given back, back to the world up above

Even if you don't want it
Even if you don't want it
Even if you don't want it
Hey baby, someday it comes back

The river's muddy guts backed up, exploded
Spillin' out the facts fast and a lot
Spillin' out the facts of the city's dirty secrets
Like a city surfacin' from out of the black

Driftin' down, down went a lifetime of secrets
Driftin' down, down went a lifetime of things
Stolen cars, train tracks, haze mats and bodies
Given back, back to the world up above

A bag of dead kittens and mufflers and engines
An army of rats and Colt 45
Bottles and tires and shipwrecks and trashcans
A porcelain Jesus and your old Christmas trees

Busted and rotten, dismembered, forgotten
Borrowed or stolen, purchased or hot
Broke down and useless, rusting, disgusting
On an unwelcome comeback

Are you ready or not?

Even if you don't want it
Even if you don't want it
Even if you don't want it
Hey baby, someday it comes back
