Let the water run Until it comes out clear Been standing in the sun So as not disappear Lay the metal down Until it meets the sky The future's coming around Unless it goes away I just got off the line They got out just in time But luck don't usually trickle down Got thunder rollin' in And wheels'll start to spin Don't wanna get caught standing round With water rising There used to be away To get across the falls Worked right up to the day Ol' Henry's engine stalled Now we got ropes and lines And means to see it through If you run out of time Ain't nothing we can do Thought I was gaining ground But things got flipped around Now I'm right back here at the start She left the floodlights on And now the power's gone So I sit right here in the dark prayin' for dawn
