Lights On the Levee

There are not too many locals
In the place where I'm working
A poison jams love but they
Hold onto pretensions
They don't want to go home

The ivory girl spent some time
Walking the levee
I saw them there cos that is where
I'm usually looking
They wanna keep dry

When I look around, nothing's coming down
When's the flood gonna take me out
Could be to today, who cares anyway
We got all the world to run

Lucy Mae Maximus baby
You want me to invade
But Jesus told me nothing pisses him off
Like those who misquote him
He wants to get straight
Some kids got excited
And rode their bikes on the levee
When the lights went out
I know they had drown in the valley
The river don't care

No one to guard the row
Everyone stays alone
He just fell out backwards from the overflow
When I look around, nothing's coming down
When will the water wash me out
