[Intro]
[Low Synth Drone, Spoken Vocal, Distant and Fragmented]
Listen to the water
(Do you hear it rise?)
Look across the valley
(See it with your eyes?)
Something’s moving
(Coming fast)
Something’s changing
(From the past)
[Verse 1]
Rain comes down
The ground can’t take it
Every channel fills
Who knows if we’re gonna make it—
To the bank
(Hope sank!)
Then another surge
(Splurge)
… who’s to thank?
[Pre-Chorus]
Up the creek
(Without a paddle)
Guess we’re about…
… to find out…
(There’s no way out)
[Refrain]
More surprises
(As the river rises)
Over the bank…
(Who’s to thank)
Rising higher
(Getting dire)
Higher, higher
[Verse 2]
Load it up
(Yup, up, up, up!)
Then let it pour
(Raging roar!)
[Refrain]
More surprises
(As the river rises)
Over the bank…
(Who’s to thank)
Rising higher
(Getting dire)
Higher, higher
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
Higher than yesterday
Higher than before
Water at the doorstep
Water through the door
[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam, Percussion]
[Breakdown]
Surprise!
(Rise!)
Higher!
(Dire!)
More!
(Than before!)
… coming through the door?
[Instrumental]
[Pounding drums]
[Rolling bass]
[Organ rising]
Higher…
Higher…
Higher…
[Final Refrain]
More surprises
(As the river rises)
Over the bank…
(Who’s to thank)
Rising higher
(Getting dire)
Higher, higher
More surprises
(More surprises!)
River rises
(River rises!)
Higher…
Higher…
Higher!
[Outro]
Watch the water…
(Watch it rise)
Watch the water…
(Before your eyes)
Higher…
Higher…
Dire!
