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
eavesdroppin 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
