Stone Temple Pilots - Where The River Goes Lyrics






Yeah, I could hide in the calm of the eye of the storm
And never blow away
Well, I'm a young man with a knife to my back
Some things never seem to change

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside

I wish I could live in the dream
that I fly on the tarred & freathered wings
Well, I'm losing a game of reality
dice where the dealer never ever pays

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside

I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river goes

Yeah, I could hide in the calm of the eye of the storm
And never blow away
Well, I'm a young man with a knife to my back
Some things never seen to change

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside

I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river goes

If I was stronger
I could be a mountain range
If night was longer
Could I escape the day?
If I was stronger
I could be a mountain range
If night was longer
Could I escape the day?

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside

I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river...
I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river goes
Where the river goes
Where the river goes
Where the river, yeah
Where the river
Where the river
Where the river
Where the river
Where the river goes
Where the river goes

  1. r.... ....

    always thought this and collective soul had the same title. Turns out this is where the river goes. NOt flows. Like both songs though. GOd/Jesus bless and save all that read this. Amen!!

  2. J.... S....

    I'd cut Portnoys throat personally to this one.

  3. m.... ....

    4 years gone today. Thanks for the music.

  4. J.... B....

    R.I.P Ruling in Purgatory or Ruling in Pridition . Or Rysian Indigo Psyhcosiblin.

  5. P.... I....

    I wish I was born in America

  6. J.... B....

    Yeah, This ain't the same place I grew up.

  7. Z.... ....

    Such an underrated masterpiece of a song! One of STP's best if you ask me.

  8. N.... S....

    Been crankin' STP since I first heard them in the 90's. All my Idols gone to heroin...Layne, Kurt and Scott. I know the struggle all too well. Hopefully I'm jamming with you all soon. We'll make a hell of a band🤘🏻

    N.... S....

    Lord Jesus bring you the peace and resolve they never seem to have found. Amen!!

    N.... S....

    @rebirth70 Thank you,bub. I really appreciate that. I think I'm beyond redemption but there's always a chance. Thanks again 💜💜

    N.... S....

    @Nellie Silvers Let me give you a verse form the Bible, that proves we are all redeemable. Its called the Gospel of Grace. THe verse is ROmans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. SO just believe that verse in your heart and you will be redeemed, By your Father GOd in heaven. SOmeone shared that with me during a rough time. Had a profound effect on me. THe simplicity of it blew me away. Thats all I have to do is believe that verse and I am redeemed. Life changing. HOpe it has the effect on you, it did on me. not forcing anything on you. Just sharing something alot of people are not aware of. Have a good one.

  9. L.... L....

  28. j.... k....

    One of the most prolific, & iconic rock bands to come out of the early nineties. RIP, Scott your unbelievable voice was silenced way too soon, but your musical legacy you left us, will continue to shine on.

  29. D.... L....

    I used to blast this album in my bedroom when I was a teenager. One day my Dad knocked on the door and asked "what's that band you are listening to?" and at that time he never had any love for my music....that day he actually appreciated something I was into.

  30. H.... N....

    Anybody else hear the Alice in Chains influence in this song??

    H.... N....

    Hugo Nongbri and Black Sabbath

  31. L.... ....

    Where The River Goes
    Kitchenware & Candybars are very similar

    Both of them are the last songs on the albums
    Core and Purple
    Their both the longest songs on the albums
    Both of them deal with rivers

  32. P.... H....

    What is it Harvey. No contrey for old Men!

  33. P.... H....

    Was the Sandmans daughter Hope?

  34. P.... H....

    Well Like Mr.Rogers said you can take the Trolley for a nickel, And Lucey gives you advice for a nickel, But Draco. He will read bloddy Palms, For a Nickel, Just Remember To say Rosey, Rosey, Rosey,Rosey!

  35. P.... H....

    Those Ain't Real Angils. Cause we Know we ain't that good. We here that all the time.

  36. P.... H....

    Now that's some Twisted Metal there RoadKill.

  37. P.... H....

    Is it Kentucky Derby time. For you Crash test Dumbies. Because when Driving the goal is not to Crash and Burn.

  38. P.... H....

    Eargasm🤘

  47. M.... R....

    Back door sluts 9 brought me here...

  48. M.... C....

    When I was teen, discovering of this masterpiece was enormus important and mindblowning for me. In that time, lyrics was the most important for me because there were a lot of things that I couldn't understand, especially myself. When I heard news about Scot's death I was in shock and really sad.
    Scot, I hope you are at better place now. I hope you are in peace now.

  49. s.... ....

    This song has perhaps STP’s best chorus.

  50. R.... N....

    Lots of Aerosmith "Round and round" in there. It's crazy to think tyler and perry are still alive as well as jagger and Richards and all the grunge icons are dead

  51. S.... B....

    Soundgarden like 👍

    S.... B....

    They all were alike. Chris and Scott were amazing

  52. R.... R....

    Ah! Damn it Scott!

    Lyrics

    Yeah,
    I could hide in the calm
    Of the eye of the storm
    And never blow away
    Yeah
    Well
    I'm a young man
    With a knife to my back
    Some things never
    Seem to change

    Nowhere to run to,

    Sing that song,
    Sing that song inside
    Yeah

    I wish I could
    Live in the dream
    That I fly on the tarred
    And feathered wings
    Well,
    I'm losing a game of reality
    Dice where the dealer
    Never ever pays

    Some things never
    Seen to change

  67. T.... ....

    "Sing that song" part sounds like Jim Morrison

  68. R.... S....

    Among combat pilots, "bought the farm" is a euphemism for having crashed and died.
