Lyrics
The water's only gettin' deeper
Days are only growing shorter
Money's only holdin' tighter
But everybody had fun down on Gluesniffer's Bridge
The giving's only gettin' harder
Fever's only climbing higher
Lies are only looking larger
But everybody had fun down on Gluesniffer's Bridge
The rain doesn't call the sunshine out to play
The sun doesn't call for the rain to fall all day
No God sent a breeze in an effort to freeze
The waters we must tread
But everybody had fun down on Gluesniffer's Bridge
Dreams are only fading farther
Sunlight's only dropping lower
I am feeling so much colder
But everybody had fun down on Gluesniffer's Bridge
