odds - river is cried lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
dirk that cattle and the rattlesnake rattle
and the nasally snarl of the glam rock gaggle
whiskey+worn throats throw spittle and cackle
and p+rn stars battle for the planes
tracks to follow but never any trains
and the wind pulls a note from the cables
like a dear john note on the kitchen table

[chorus]
says it all, it’s cut and dried
the scene is set and the river is cried

[verse 2]
cruise ship white turns blue in the night
the water turns a black sinking down out of sight
pink stream of glitter like the tail of a kite
whistles and pops under clouds
that hangs in the air as if to mount
underneath, there’s a beauty and a strangeness
one rose for these ugly occasions

[chorus]
it says it all, it’s cut and dried
the scene is set and the river is cried
(says it all) it says it all
[bridge]
in the desert more things are named after water
if you name it then it will appear
and the vegetaries of the kalahari will one day run with the deer
and this hope is a sort of pollution
that clutters up your harsh resolution

[chorus]
it says it all, it’s cut and dried
the scene is set and the river is cried
it says it all, it’s cut and dried
the scene is set and the river is cried

[verse 3]
the rattle of coins in the pockets on loins
stale+smellin’ seed in the cracks in the joints
a tone to the voice of the stock exchange noise
where aftershaves roll through the air
the scent of the pit and the bid for the share
the velvet hammer in the riot
the tight+knit tie and the stunning quiet

[chorus]
says it all, it’s cut and dried
the scene is set and the river is cried
says it all, it’s cut and dried
the scene is set and the river is cried
(says it all) it says it all
