Lyrics:

Tell me a great and thoughtful thing
Tell me ways in which to sing
Out, sorrow's better than the trumpeter's ones, just now on the wing
If you're going far away, I don't know if I'm gonna stay
If these things seem quite uncertain
Under the great red velvet curtain
To drape across your forehead
Way our thoughts come out like water spurtin'
If you're going far away, I don't know if I'm gonna stay
Oh, Niagara, Niagara, Niagara
Like some video on pause
I see those falls
Inside a barrel filled with balm
Shotgun shells sent straight from Rome
And thoughts that rivers tak? us further from the places w? call home
River current as the news will take us from these landlocked blues
We'll bob along like this for days
'Til we reach all other rays and angles, seaweed tangles
Gaze upon each other with malaise
River current as the news will take us from these landlocked blues
Oh, Niagara, Niagara, Niagara
When that self-stained seaweed stalls
I see those falls

Why can't all water be like this?
When droplets fall down into mist
That's where a silver forming halos around a person you just kissed
Your body's too hot to invent
Your substance, dear, is heaven sent
But mist condenses quick and splashes
Takes a scene in your eyelashes
Crowns you with a set of beads that when you move show rainbow flashes
Your body's too hot to invent
Your substance, dear, is heaven sent
Oh, Niagara, Niagara, Niagara
Like some swelling of applause
I hear those falls

Now serve me something from a spoon
And tell me stories 'bout the moon
While yellow flowers swirl around me like some whirlpool, kazoom
Just take these words for what they're worth
This water's wetted us from birth
But there's no need to part just yet
Where rocks and rivers fuss and fret
About their futures, dear, let's just concern ourselves with gettin' wet

Take these words for what they're worth
This water's wetted us from birth
Oh, Niagara, Niagara, Niagara
Like some video on pause
I see your falls
