about

After leaving his domineering love and failing on his own, the song's central character is forced to return to her, groveling but allowing his passion for her to save the day.

lyrics

I don't wanna be a prodigal bastard
I can't find a ditch i can crawl
Don't even ask me about my things
You know i sold 'em
You know i sold 'em all

Don't you lie to me, you know truth is faster
There's gonna be a rising tide
I'll even let you have the last word
If you'll promise to let it slide

Love me like a river
Hold me like a chain

I know you call me the prodigal bastard
I don't even know how to crawl
Don't even ask me about my things
You know I –
You know I –
You know I sold 'em all

Love me like a river
Hold me like a chain
And dance in front of the window-shaker, babe!

Love my filthy river
Hold me like a dirty chain
And crank up the window-shaker, babe
Dance by the window-shaker, babe!
