Down By The River Lyrics

    He's in a room
    He sees the floor
    He sees the wall
    He sees the roof
    He sees the door
    It's nine thirty-eight
    So he goes up to the door and he finds himself in another room identical to the one before
    The clock still reads nine thirty-eight
    So he goes out of that room, but he finds himself in a parallel room
    A mirror image of the one before
    He hits the floor
    He hits the wall
    He hits the door
    He hits the door
    The clock reads nine thirty-eight
    He throws it at the roof
    He breaks a hole
    He climbs out
    He sees the moon
    He sees the stars
    He sees the sky
    The stars are small lightbulbs set in a black cardboard dome
    He climbs out
    He sees the stars, he sees the sky
    The stars are small lightbulbs set in a black cardboard dome
    He hits the floor
    He hits the wall
    He hits the roof
    He hits the dome
    He hits the dome
    Condemned This house This house is
    This house is
    Is this house
    This house
    Is this house
    Fill in housing form
    Buy one clock
    Time again
    Sort housing papers
    Still nine thirty-eight
    Two thousand years from now it will still be ticking
    He hits the floor
    Wall, roof, door
    The clock reads nine thirty-eight
    He hits the dome
    Door, wall
    Space, floor
    Time
    He sees the moon
    He sees the stars for some romantic reason
    Space, dome, door, wall, clockface
    Space, time, place, floor, wall, door, roof
    This is one small step for mankind one giant leap for man
    Ten Nine Eight Seven Six Five Four Three Two One Zero
    We have lift-off
    He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon, he sees the stars
    He sees the sky, he sees the Earth for some romantic reason
    He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon, he sees the stars
    He sees the sky, he sees the Earth
    Space, time, place, condensed
    Space, time, place, condemned
    This is house is
    This house is
    This house is condemned
    This house is
    This house is
    This house is condemned.
