"Muddy River" lyrics
"Muddy River"
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

David Byrne - "Burnt By The Sun" Atom-smashers in the cocktail lounge tonight
Opera singers in the graveyard keeping time
And the DJ mixes them all
And the music rhymes but it crawls
And the music comes from hydrogen bombs
Rock...
Tricky - "Makes Me Wonder" Kiss me a while
And give me your soul
Kiss me a while
And just one more
Makes me wonder
Miss me slow
Always heartache
Just won't go
I am one that
You don't know
Leave me looking
Without soul
Leave...
Lucinda Williams - "Compassion" Have compassion for everyone you meet
Even if they don't want it
What seems conceit is always a sign
Always a sign
Always a sign.
For those you encounter
Have compassion
Even if they don't want it...
Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man - "Resolve" Time rolls as days go by
And now I've figured that I ain't gonna last
Summer skies are leaving me behind
So resolve your loving said all
I'll be lost when you're gone
Blind me from keep
Blind me...
Nico - "You Forget To Answer" When I remember what to say
When I remember what to say
You will know me again
