Riders - James

I’m in a crowded room — I’ve been half-asleep

Says the sister in uniform

Has everybody understood?

The listeners turn and nod

But I can see their fear, do they know more than me Do they know why they’re here

I don’t want that poison in She passed around a potion — it went from lip to hand

I took a sip, a taste I didn’t understand

The woman then explained, that this was the juice, the juice that causes pain

That all great singers need

I don’t want that poison in I stumbled from the room

There must be some mistake

I do not want this seed

Think I’m in another’s dream

Now I can feel this creature flapping in my throat

Try and throw it up But my cough turns to a choke

Put my fingers in my mouth

I have it by the head

It dug into my jaw

I threw the sucker to the floor

Sucker to the floor
