Float Away
You stand on the bridge where you had your first kiss
Watching as the river pass by beneath your feet
You think and reflect on passed misshaps
How would it have been if you'd taken different steps
Would you've been a millionaire
Would you've gotten ahead
Would you've been one of those fancy lads
Oh you stand and you think and you feel regret
Wondering if there still is a chance
Is it too late to change my way?
Nah just forget what she said
You got to throw down your heart
Throw down your soul
Throw them to the river down there below
Let the river take em
Wash them to the sewers to
Rot with the rats
Cause you ain't gonna need 'em your heart and soul
Cause all you need in this world is to be hard and to be cold
So just let 'em float away
But it contradicts to what your mother said, when you were so young you still wet the bed
Cause she said treat others as you want to be treated yourself
Oh you can't go round stabbing people in the back
Your mother was a communist
Yeah she believed in the cause
She said we rise together and together we fall
But that ain't the case oh not at all
If you want to stand tall it's for yourself
You should pick a cause
Is it too late to change my way?
Nah just forget what she said
You got to throw down your heart
Throw down your soul
Throw them to the river down there below
Let the river take em
Wash them to the sewers to
Rot with the rats
Cause you ain't gonna need 'em your heart and soul
Cause all you need in this world is to be hard and to be cold
So just let 'em float away
But heed my words kid and you'll go far, one of these days you'll hit the stars
Forget your mother's words, forget what she said, there's no need for mercy and no need for love
Imagine your own desk and your own room at the highest floor
Think of all subordinates you would stand above
And all you have to do is to become a corporate sociopath
And kid
It all will be yours
Is it too late to change my way?
Nah just forget what she said
You got to throw down your heart
Throw down your soul
Throw them to the river down there below
Let the river take em
Wash them to the sewers to
Rot with the rats
Cause you ain't gonna need 'em your heart and soul
Cause all you need in this world is to be hard and to be cold
So just let 'em float away
You got to throw down your heart
Throw down your soul
Throw them to the river down there below
Let the river take em
Wash them to the sewers to
Rot with the rats
Cause you ain't gonna need 'em your heart and soul
Cause all you need in this world is to be hard and to be cold
So just let 'em float away
Just let 'em float away
Watching as the river pass by beneath your feet
You think and reflect on passed misshaps
How would it have been if you'd taken different steps
Would you've been a millionaire

Cause all you need in this world is to be hard and to be cold
So just let 'em float away
Just let 'em float away
