River bends

[Verse 1]

Smoke curls slow off the city street

Cumbia drummer keeps a steady heat

Tape deck hiss and the needle's glow

Midnight walk where the palm trees bow

[Pre-Chorus]

So surreal

Floatin through the wheel

Hazy rhymes I steal

Make it all feel real

[Chorus]

Rollin slow like the river bends

Hypnotized till the record ends

Every step a poem I send

Cumbia heartbeat round the bend

[Verse 2]

Low-slung bass and a dusty horn

Painted bus where the morning's born

Grandma's kitchen hums a minor key

Golden days float back to me

[Pre-Chorus]

Echoes sway

Nothing left to say

Driftin far away

In this cumbia haze

[Chorus]

Rollin slow like the river bends

Hypnotized till the record ends

Every step a poem I send

Cumbia heartbeat round the bend

[Bridge]

Spin the wheel

Feel the thrum

Past and now

All become one

[Chorus]

Rollin slow like the river bends

Hypnotized till the record ends

Every step a poem I send

Cumbia heartbeat round the bend
