the river - diane cluck lyrics
[intro: jeffrey lewis]
i was dreaming of a mountain in the sky above the flood
and a forest and a city and a river made of blood
[pre*chorus 1: diane cluck]
baptist guy keeps getting closer
tries to pull me down to the river
have i been such a wayward daughter?
hold my head under the water
[chorus 1: diane cluck]
oh, then i started shouting
i felt like i was drowning
baptist, he keeps on plunging
my hands, they keep on grabbing
his hair, a tangled nest
he smacks me across the chest
“oh, what have i done then, father?”
“you’ve been a wayward daughter.”
[simultaneously: jeffrey lewis]
take my hand now, we’ll go walking
on that mountain, above the flood
in the forest, we’ll make a canoe
put it in the river of blood
[pre*chorus 2: diane cluck]
left my mind on the riverbank
left behind in the mud, it sank
baptist guy, i gotta thank you
for the bath, though i didn’t want to
[chorus 2: diane cluck]
i feel the harsh demands
made by the baptists hands
he bends me across his knee
i’m backwards, i cannot see
there’s filth streaming out of me
there’s water rushing over me
there’s filth streaming out of me
there’s water rushing over me…
[simultaneously: jeffrey lewis]
when the river becomes an ocean
every spirit of every man
will rise up and we will recall that
we are all but one blood again
[instrumental]
[pre*chorus 1: diane cluck]

hold my head under the water
[simultaneously: jeffrey lewis]
i was dreaming of a mountain in the sky above the flood
and a forest and a city and a river made of blood
[chorus 1: diane cluck, both]
oh, then i started shouting
i felt like i was drowning
baptist, he keeps on plunging
my hands, they keep on grabbing
his hair, a tangled nest
he smacks me across the chest
“oh, what have i done then, father?”
“you’ve been a wayward daughter.”

take my hand now, we’ll go walking
on that mountain, above the flood
in the forest, we’ll make a canoe
put it in the river of blood
[chorus 2: diane cluck, all]
i feel the harsh demands
made by the baptists hands
he bends me across his knee
i’m backwards, i cannot see
there’s filth streaming out of me
there’s water rushing over me
there’s filth streaming out of me
there’s water rushing over me…
[outro: jeffrey lewis, both]
when the river becomes an ocean
and every spirit of every man
will rise up and we will recall that
we are all but one blood again
