Mind Flood Lyrics - Chemical City - Sam Roberts

When it comes calling, will you heed the call? 

When it gets heavy now, will you let it fall? 

And as the loon cries it opens minds 

The stream reflects these Northern climes 

Through these days we walk the line 

Sixteen dollars and a couple of dimes 

There've been a number of times 

Took a step back, couldn't read the signs 

Cross the plains till they start to climb 

Down to the valley where the river winds 

Sing it for me, sing it for me 

When the water comes down, get yourself up high... 

Grey skies, the waters rise 

Mind flood's gonna break the bank 

Will it wash us away now? Will it wash us away now? 

Blue skies, the river dries 

A light goes out before your eyes 

Till the break of day now, till the break of day now 

Sing it for me, sing it for me 

When the water comes down, get yourself up high... 

Goin' down to the river now, mind flood's got my head in the gutter 

Will it wash us all away? 

You come to with a shiver now, 

Flash back eighth grade with a stutter 

Will it wash us all away? 

If love is a cult we are all believers 

Cruel, passionate underachievers 

Fools lashing out at the dreamers 

Kiss the enemy and kill the redeemer 

We are indeed a dying breed 

We are the people of the sky 

So when the river floods and you're made from mud 

Get yourself up high.... 

Sing it for me, sing it for me 

When the water comes down, get yourself up high... 

Goin' down to the river now, mind flood's got my head in the gutter 

Will it wash us all away? 

You come to with a shiver now, 

Flash back eighth grade with a stutter 

Will it wash it all away? 

Goin' down to the river now, mind flood's got my head in the gutter 

Will it wash us all away? 

Whoa, come and wash it all away, all away... 

Get yourself up high... 

The wolf's eyes have found their prize 

And you have found your place in it all....
