Take me to the river baby drink my wine
When i'm going down won't you throw me a line
Lead me to religion take me up them stairs
When i take a tumble will you sing me some prayers?

When will you show me a sign?
When will you throw me a line?

Help me to the answer baby sit my prey
I'm torn between the devil and the deep blue sea
Maybe if you wanted you could save my face
Keep me out of trouble i'm a living disgrace

When will you show me a sign?
When will you throw me a line? (death)

Oh...ooh baby put me on the hot line
Baby put me on the hot line
The hot lines to hell!

Oh
Show me to a sucker and you'll see my name
Standing in a line with the shadows of fame
Lead me to religion take me up them stairs
When i take a tumble will you say me some prayers?

When will you show me a sign?
When will you throw me a line?

When will you show me a sign?
When will you throw me a line?
Oh put me on the hot line!
Yeah put me on the hot line!
On the hot line baby, oh

Take me to the river baby drink my wine
Take me to the river and drink my wine
Take me to the river drink my wine
Take me, take me, a take me, take oh
Take me to the hot line
Baby take me to the hot line
Take me to the hot line, to hell ow
