Amazon
I went on the river for moneyI sold my old rotten shack
For a rusty tanker leaking oiland the burning sun was on my back
Traveled up the ragin’ riverI watched the jungle burn
And in the reddenin’ twilightI wondered would I ever return.
Ridin’ on a river of dreams
Broken dreams.
I’m ridin’ on a river of dreams.
Amazonamazon
Is it heaven or hell?
Amazon.
An eagle flew above usI felt the breezes blow.
Fish with teeth like ivorywaited down below.
On shore they cut and hammeredand fenced them in with wire.
While ancient fires in the jungleburned our souls like fire.
Ridin’ on a river of dreams
Somebody’s dreams.
I’m ridin’ on a river of dreams.
Amazonamazon
Is it heaven or hell ?
Amazon.
What kind of creature’s gonna rise up from these ashes?
What’s gonna fly in the moonlight feathers aglow?
What kind of rain could come in from these sorrows?
Nobody knowsnobody knows.
At dawn we crossed the rapidsa place where few men go.
I felt the desolationwhere nothing seemed to grow.
When I got my wagesI hung my head and cried.
I could not stop these visionsthat swept in like the tide.
Ridin’ on a river of dreams
Broken dreams.
I’m ridin’ on a river of dreams.
Amazonamazon
Is it heaven or hell ?
Amazon.
Ohamazonamazonamazonamazon.
