Sweetheart, I'm wearin' thin
Keep your tongue in it's cage 'n catch your breath
What could anyone learn from a rich man's son
Run – run – run – run, run, run…

Impossible to explain – impossible to explain

Sweetheart, the river's red
Jesus Christ, they think they're your fisherman

Impossible to explain – impossible to explain

Sweetheart, I'm only stopping to start
Yeh, I've seen love and love don't look like that
No, it don't look like that
It don't look like that…

I let a red rose girl wither in the sun
Now you know you're not the chosen one

Impossible to explain – I was only sixteen

(Chorus)
