aesop rock - by the river lyrics

[verse 1]
i like rivers, i like rivers
sailboats, fisherman, skinny+dipping swimmers
kids turning rocks over catching lil critters
eagle in the pine tree eyeballing dinner
my uncle used to cut school to hit the susquehanna
kept himself a rod and reel he hid up in the bramble
the school took attendance, it was quiet as a mouse
he was at the river pulling out a giant by its mouth
a river in the daylight is energy and life
a river in the dark can be a genuine surprise
you might find somе lovers getting cozy on the shorе
or a cold+blooded psychopath disposing of a corpse
sitting by the hudson river talking to a ghost
“i wish that we could rock a beat and smoke an l at tone’s
i miss the way you rhyme and how you never had a clone
ain’t a motherf+cker living that could ever crack the code”

[verse 2]
i like rivers, i like rivers
freight ships passing through old drawbridges
it looks so cool when you catch it from a distance
a little less cool when you stuck inside your civic
i wonder what could possibly be lurking on the bottom
i look into the water and imagine all the options
a fish we never knew about, some rusty old jalopy
the murder weapon used to catch the aforementioned body
i seen a beaver chilling by the bank of the willamette
we gazed upon each other undeniably enchanted
a wave of telepathic information through the filter
it said “when i go to heaven i want you to have the river”
he also said the others had agreed that i was chosen
just don’t mention it front of them as gloating is for no one
i’m pretty sure you don’t have the authority to say this
but thank you, i accept, i’ll have my lawyer draft the papers
[verse 3]
i like rivers, i like rivers
hard to put a price on water for the village
i jumped into the amazon to launder all my atoms
the chao praya had me spilling coffee on the captain
my heart is the east river floating on a frisbee
that came in from the long island sound to sojourn in the city
it’s not the kinda water where you’d throw a triple lindy
if you get some on your skin they probably notify your siblings
i picture a scenario where someone’s held me captive
and escape would mean to build a raft and navigate some rapids
i wonder if my training from the school of tv magic
would beget some makeshift watercraft that make off for damascus
in practice i have no desire get into the water
i like to know it’s there in the event i ever wanna
waterfalls, tributaries, lichtenberg figures
twilight fireflies, i like rivers
