And darkness was upon the face of the deep

And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the water

Oh lord, please don't put a cross upon my door

And the river Is rising



Chorus:

The river

The river is rising

The river

The river is rising

Carry me away to another world

The swamp cooler decided to die

He mumped his head

Opened his eyes

Is that my baby grand beginning to rise?

Carry me away to another world

Every day around 4 o'clock

King Antoine enjoyed his nap

The TV would awaken him

But today, the TV was dead

Chorus

Raise to the roof and to the night sky

The King thought Lord, is this the time I'm gonna die?

Is this the day I'm gonna die?

The river is rising

Chorus

He was nailed to the piano
