I think I'll go sit by the river Just to get away for a while Like jumping off of the water And time, it aligned, is swirling and swimming Clouds rolling over themselves Twisting and boiling and growing out of nothing The hills bitten off at the edge And the whiskers and the tails Running round Running running round I think I'll go sit by the river Just to get away for a while Listen to the conversations Eavesdropping on the whiskey jacks and wax men Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle mask Sunk into the rocks plastic face half buried The stone bottom bumps out a rhythm It sings the same song That its always been singing Think i'll go sit by the river Just to get outside of my mind I'm wishing i could stay here forever But the river won't stay that long Its moving on Shopping cart stuck on an island Stranded in the middle getting hotter and thirsty Not really moving just waiting For this water to rise up again And pull me along
