The Tragically Hip - Membership lyrics

Whether laying down yourself beside it
Or slipping into it's cool
And rushing effects
Or drifting on it to where it broadens
Your admiration for
For it's more elusive aspects

Being drawn along by it
Carried under, carried away
By it's long term membership

By the time the ice huts hit the bottom
We were already home in bed
The most worthy men and
The fiercest architects
Couldn't fight the current
They couldn't save
They couldn't save the sheds

Being drawn along by it
Carried under, carried away
By it's long term membership

Bring on the springtime
Bring on the houseflies
Bring on the butterscotch
River over spilling it's banks
If you've got you some
Withering power to amuse
You'll find it's greatest frustration
Has it's entertaining value

Being drawn along by it
Carried under, carried away
By it's long term membership
Being drawn along by it
Carried under, carried away
By it's long term membership

River wide, river wonder us
