About

This song reflects on a childhood memory that lead singer Robert Smith had of a body being pulled out of a river.

Lament Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today there was a tragedy underneath the bridge
A man walked cold and blue into La Ment
The sky coloured perfect as the man slipped away
Waving with a last vanilla smile
Waving with a last vanilla smile

[Verse 2]
Somewhere at a table, two drowned fools
Smoking, drinking water as they talked
Of how they loved our lady
And oh the smell as candles die

[Chorus]
One more ice cream river body
Flowed underneath the bridge
Underneath the bridge
Underneath the bridge

[Chorus]
One more ice cream river body
Flowed underneath the bridge
Underneath the bridge
Underneath the bridge
