Tragically Hip - Membership lyrics

Whether laying down yourself beside it

or slipping into its cool and rushing effects

or drifting on it to where it broadens

your admiration for, for its more elusive aspects

Being drawn along by it

carried under carried away

by it's long-term membership

By the time the ice-huts hit the bottom

we were already home in bed

the most worthy men and the fiercest architects

they couldn't fight the current they couldn't save, they couldn't save the sheds

being drawn along by it

carried under carried away

by its long-term membership

Bring on the springtime bring on the houseflies

bring on the butterscotch river overspilling its banks

if you got you some withering power to amuse

you'll find its greatest frustration has its entertaining value

Being drawn along by it

carried under carried away

by its long-term membership

river wide

river wonder us
