[00:00.23] River Man - The Flaming Lips
[00:01.45]
[00:12.83] Betty came by on her way
[00:14.16]
[00:18.06] Said she had a word to say
[00:19.72]
[00:23.39] About things today
[00:24.49]
[00:28.43] And fallen leaves
[00:29.06]
[00:33.84] Said she hadn't heard the news
[00:35.24]
[00:39.27] Hadn't had the time to choose
[00:40.75]
[00:44.83] A way to lose
[00:45.65]
[00:49.32] But she believes
[00:49.88]
[00:54.95] Going to see the river man
[00:56.08]
[01:00.31] Going to tell him all I can
[01:01.98]
[01:05.87] About the plan
[01:06.48]
[01:10.59] For lilac time
[01:11.23]
[01:16.02] If he tells me all he knows
[01:17.93]
[01:21.77] About the way his river flows
[01:23.72]
[01:27.46] And all night shows
[01:28.48]
[01:32.09] In summertime
[01:32.69]
[02:13.64] Betty said she prayed today
[02:14.98]
[02:19.09] For the sky to blow away
[02:21.54]
[02:24.63] Maybe stay
[02:25.26]
[02:29.21] She wasn't sure
[02:29.80]
[02:34.66] For when she thought of summer rain
[02:36.10]
[02:40.22] Calling for her mind again
[02:42.39]
[02:45.35] She lost the pain
[02:46.21]
[02:50.19] And stayed for more
[02:51.01]
[02:55.69] Going to see the river man
[02:56.87]
[03:00.96] Going to tell him all I can
[03:02.79]
[03:06.24] About the ban
[03:06.86]
[03:10.92] On feeling free
[03:11.51]
[03:16.29] If he tells me all he knows
[03:17.86]
[03:22.26] About the way his river flows
[03:24.30]
[03:27.51] I don't suppose
[03:28.18]
[03:31.96] It's meant for me
[03:32.77]
[03:42.79] Oh how they come and go
[03:46.72]
[03:53.11] Oh how they come and go
