John Cale - In A Flood lyrics
[John Cale - In A Flood lyrics]
You thought you had it covered but you don't
The best you had to offer went up in smoke
I heard from other people where you went
Down the Mississippi in a flood
Somewhere south of Santa Fe
It started sinking in
The sweetness you were missing
You were wishing would come back again
Was Lost in the shuffle along the way
Down the Mississippi in a flood
Swallowed in a storm
You had us worried all along
Tying up the lines to the State Police
Covered all over in grease
What was under the hood was alright
You would have made it down
The Mississippi in a flood
The best you had to offer went up in smoke
I heard from other people where you went
Down the Mississippi in a flood
Somewhere south of Santa Fe
It started sinking in
The sweetness you were missing
You were wishing would come back again
Was Lost in the shuffle along the way
Down the Mississippi in a flood
Swallowed in a storm
You had us worried all along
Tying up the lines to the State Police
Covered all over in grease
What was under the hood was alright
You would have made it down
The Mississippi in a flood
