Laurie Anderson — 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
