lyrics

Rally, rally, up around the bend,
'cause I don't know
what's up ahead.
The air is gray,
as the souls of today,
and I think I heard them say,
innocent Clarissa,
"come and dance in the unknown."

The rain it falls,
like words from incantations
and a score of sins at reconciliation.
The thunder rumbles like blasphemy
between you and me,
innocent Clarissa,
come and dance in the unknown.

Lightning strikes,
but there's nothing to kill,
in this flashing flood
and its reptile swill.
Even water has the power to kill--
even out here.
Innocent Clarissa,
come and dance in the unknown.

Clarissa, we can see that you're so sweet,
just like we all once were.
And Clarissa we can see that you can't stay
out of this storm forever.
Now, Clarissa, can you see the coyote?
Clarissa, she has danced in this storm
and dances every day.
Clarissa, you should know
that she has known
what it is to have
what must be let go.

The road, it churns,
with a river's blood,
made into rapids,
milky with mud.
The bits of cliff,
they tumble down,
and I heard them say,
innocent Clarissa,
"come and dance in the unknown."

We're laughing mad now
in the middle of the storm.
'Cause I heard them say,
if you're going out there
you're gonna need
water for the way.
Innocent Clarissa,
come and dance in the unknown.
