Seventy-Nine-Ego Likeness

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. 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. 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. 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.
