Tragically hip the membership lyrics

Whether laying yourself down beside it

or slipping into it's cool and rushing effects

or drifting on it to where it broadens

your admiration for it's more elusive aspects



Being drawn on by it

carried under carried away

by its 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



Chorus



Bring on the springtime bring on the houseflies

bring on the butterscotch river overspilling its banks

if you got some withering power to amuse

you'll find its greatest frustration has its entertaining value



Chorus



river wide

river wonder us
