As usual in the long history of Pere Ubu, beginning with “Sentimental Journey” on “The Modern Dance”, the obvious lift of another classic, well-known song title, which may or may not have anything to do with the original, in this instance the Neil Young song.
Down by the river
Corn is creeping
Cry for my lover
Lover's sleeping
Bad as it gets
Getting worse
I want to run
Had to learn to crawl
The house on fire
The treaty's broken
I call for the law
The law's a token
Bad as it gets
Gotten worse
I want to run
Had to learn to crawl
Trip is the worst
I don't mean maybe
Call for the captain
She cries like a baby
As bad as it gets
It's getting worse
I want to run
Had to learn to crawl first
Bye-bye
Bye-bye baby my friend
She cries and she cries
And she... and then she...
Might've not known
Might've not guessed
Might've been fine
If she had never confessed
As bad as it gets
Getting worse
Want to run
Had to learn to crawl first
Bye-bye
Bye-bye baby my friend
It's time to leave
And I don't know when
