Letra de Bell Swamp Connection
Toward the tail-end of the age that's almost finished Where the highway starts to crack and nobody fixes it I was wandering through an undeveloped tract Out near the oceanOne hundred acres, we will build to suit See what there is to see before it's gone Somebody's always just about To put some kind of awful plan in motionEastern red cedars and the pines And suddenly an elevated stone slab In what must have been a clearing onceTry to recognize the signals and the signposts With my curiosity Will likely always get the best of meIt's like that one thing My Dad kept trying to tell me As the twilight Inched its way on up his bodyGet out! Get out! Get out! Get out!Well of course I climbed atop the slab and I lay down on it I am a child I had my face toward the sky Lying there in the sun with both my eyes closedWoke up in near darkness What the hell is wrong with me? Volunteer pines in the hundreds in the dusk Like military tent polesLet my eyes adjust Try to read the markings on the slab Weird alphabets I felt sure I hadn't seen Just before I passed outStars growing brighter Me looking up Like a lobster in a cage down in the depths Beneath the bottom of a glass boatAnd I heard a voice From somewhere out beyond the free fall Like a captive soldier He's just trying to warn his brothersGet out! Get out! Get out! Get out!
