Ego Likeness Seventy-Nine
There's a lake that is locked
And frozen
Something has been there
For at least three thousand years
There is a room that is locked
And haunted
Something's been inside
trying to survive.
I've seen traps
Rusting in the street
I've found lions in my bath
And prowling the ravines
I've seen ghosts rising
From the snow
And there's still so much
That I don't know.
Chorus:
I've seen things that
I dare not explain
But I tell you I'm fine
I just won't be the same
I've seen lights in the dark
That can be unkind.
And it's been this way since 1979.
The engineer says there's nothing below
But cold unyielding stone
But I know there's more
So much more than
We can ever see
So much more
Than we can readily believe.
Chorus:
I've seen things that
I dare not explain
But I tell you I'm fine
I just won't be the same
I've seen lights in the dark
That can be unkind.
And it's been this way since 1979.
Follow me to the open field tonight.
Follow me to the carnival in white
Swim with me in the serpentine rivers
That run beneath my skin.
Chorus:
I've seen things that
I dare not explain
But I tell you I'm fine
I just won't be the same
I've seen lights in the dark
That can be unkind.
And it's been this way since 1979.
Follow me to the cold slate mine
Follow me while we still have time.
Drown with me in the
Old blue quarry
That swallowed us whole
Back in seventy-nine.
