Black out the windows
It's party time
You know how I love stormy weather
So, let's all play suicide
The crowd wants you bleeding
The eyes from your head
Get off your knees
You'll be fine
How wide?
How deep the river?
Black-as dark as night
How long?
How far?
I'll know when I get to the other side
Whatever it is you've stolen
I'll recognize
I'll sympathize
I reckon that I've seen it all
And start falling
I breathe in
Unchain myself
Tonight's the night
No wind, rain, conversation
Brings me back alive tonight
How wide?
How deep the river black as night?
Black out the windows
It's party time
I see a light
That I recognize
It's party time
You know how I love stormy weather
So, let's all play suicide
The crowd wants you bleeding
The eyes from your head
Get off your knees
You'll be fine
How wide?
How deep the river?
Black-as dark as night
How long?
How far?
I'll know when I get to the other side
Whatever it is you've stolen
I'll recognize
I'll sympathize
I reckon that I've seen it all
And start falling
I breathe in
Unchain myself
Tonight's the night
No wind, rain, conversation
Brings me back alive tonight
How wide?
How deep the river black as night?
Black out the windows
It's party time
I see a light
That I recognize

I agree it's about suicide and the Jack London novel and it's a mesmerizinly beautiful song. Greg Dulli is a legend to me.
