Muddy River - Laurie Anderson

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 by 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 around, 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 balls

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
