Under The Bridge, where my demons reside
By the River,
Where the grass meets the tide
And of the devil sharks swim and snakes slither

In this place, where darkness shades the day
Here, where the junkies go
To toss their lives away
Before even it is theirs throw

Here I find myself and I cringe
Here I find myself a time to fly
Here I find my final binge
Here I have found a place to die
