In a Flood Songtext
von John Cale

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
