lyrics

We played the future game
watching the hours as they drained
into nothing this cool summer’s eve

But then away I looked turned my attention to books
and the promise they held out to me

You wanted to know, you could ask me again
and we’ll share in the knowledge as one
But if the ocean said the river is dead unto me
as it flows round & round to the sea

I sat and waited while Indian summer slipped by
from the waves of the pool to the sea

But sometimes out of the corner of my tearful eye
I can see her still calling to me

You wanted to know, you could ask me again
and we’ll share in the knowledge as one
But if the ocean said the river is dead unto me
as it flows round & round to the sea

Counting, waiting, listening ‘till the hate has evaporated
Running, falling, knowing that your idolatry conceals an
often hidden view deep inside of you

I dance to welcome the first rain of autumn today
as she rings in the change that shall be

For as the heat of the summertime
yields to the fall
all shall welcome the season to heal

You wanted to know, you could ask me again
and we’ll share in the knowledge as one
But if the ocean said the river is dead unto me
as it flows round & round to the sea

Counting, waiting, listening ‘till the hate has evaporated
Running, falling, knowing that your idolatry conceals an
often hidden view deep inside of you

Mutiny in Jonestown Washington

Influenced by classic 70's progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator & Genesis - along with late 60's psychedelia from The Beatles, Procol Harum & Pink Floyd (with a little 70's Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure), Mutiny in Jonestown has always sought to take these influences and synthesize them into something new.

The band has released 42 albums since 1987. ... more
