Laurie Anderson Muddy River Lyrics

Rain keeps pouring down
Houses are cracking.
People drown.
Cars are rusting here.
A church floats by
Washed in the blood of the lamb.
And all the superhighways have disappeared
One by one.
And all the towns and cities and signs
Are underwater now.
They're gone.
We're going down my the muddy river
We're walking down by the muddy river
Somebody tell me please:
What happened here?
Mud is everywhere.
Fish are swimming in the fields.
Everybody's running arund, they're yelling
Is this the end of the known world?
Men and women in their boats
Try to save what they've lost.
They're yelling,
It's all gone now.
We're never gonna find it again.
But when the muddy river starts to rise
It covers us all.
And when I look into your eyes
Two tiny clocks two crystal b____
We begin again.
We try We begin again.
Down by
We're going down by down by the muddy river.
We begin again down by the muddy river
We're walking down by down by the muddy river.
We're going down by down by the muddy river.
