Lyrics   status: confirmed

Come on down, down to the river
Come on down I want to feel you shiver
Dark on the edges, golden on top
Floatin' down the river
You're so hot
Oh oh oh oh oh ooh
Oh oh oh oh oh ooh

Come on down, down to the river
Come on down I want to feel you shiver
The sight of death is sure to deliver
Come on down I want to hear you quiver
Oh oh ooh

Corpses, drapery
Rustling, sliding, sliding, sliding
Endless

Shake it off

NOTES:

  • Working title: "Mars"
  • This song was debuted, along with "No Way", at the 08/29/08 Philadelphia show. This was the first appearance of The Eternal material. At the time, the song was titled "Mars", after the band.
  • Kim sings alone on this song.
  • Both Kim and Thurston use metal files on their guitars for the particularly grating effect during the outro.
