Skinny Puppy - Rivers Lyrics

Let's get things nice and sparkling clean
It's part of the New Way
This conversation can serve no purpose anymore
I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly
Take a stress pill and think things over
Some extreme nastiness, yes?
In the course of the centuries they will learn to know each other better, just as we shall
As brooks flow into streams, streams into rivers,
And rivers into the sea, so our adepts flow back to us and swell our ranks
Soon we shall be victorious and triumphant! We shall then, over this earth
It shall await our coming as Autumn awaits Winter
New way, what's this about a new way?
My mind is going, I can feel it
Do you know what is really obscene?
Look at him! Almost an old man
With his flabby stomach and spindly legs bringing with dog-like devotion
A fresh adept who only a few nights ago his was under his protection
Look well at this man, who secreted another girl
More closer in than a miser holding his gold!
I must leave you know
See you later gentlemen
Meditate while awaiting your turn,
For it would be extremely difficult for you to get away from here
Unless of course you have wings, like a bat
Is it interesting?
What?
Did you find anything interesting?
It can only be attributable to human error
This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error
I can't stop now though
He displeased me as much this evening as impressed me the first time
I've lost all critical perspective!
(Belch,laugh) Don't you laugh, damn you, don't you laugh!
I'm afraid
But my father beats me for watching TV
He says I have no respect
Yeah, I tell him not to watch so much TV
Don't listen to him, 'cause I got a show
No respect
I know everything hasn't been quite right with me
But I can assure you now, very confidently
A year ago exactly on this same night we were assembled here in this very room
I your pastor and you my beloved flock
With hopefulness in my heart
I told you then that with Lucifer's aid we might look forward to a more succulent occasion.
Cast back your mind. There we were
Gathered together gloomy and despondent
Around that single meager woodcutter
I feel much better now

Let's get things nice and sparkling clean
It's part of the New Way
This conversation can serve no purpose anymore
I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly
Take a stress pill and think things over
Some extreme nastiness, yes?
In the course of the centuries they will learn to know each other better, just as we shall
As brooks flow into streams, streams into rivers,
And rivers into the sea, so our adepts flow back to us and swell our ranks
Soon we shall be victorious and triumphant! We shall then, over this earth
It shall await our coming as Autumn awaits Winter
New way, what's this about a new way?
