Everglades Lyrics

South San Gabriel Everglades

Howard-Johnson

Constantly protected
But somehow so damaged
Your lingering aesthetic
And burning eyes deceive

Lost within some sleeplessness
The americium
Was central to that sickness
And keeps with your transmission
This disintegration
Was surely yours to keep
You're stranded in the Everglades
And wrapped within a sheet

Extend into the slough
I'll watch you while you sleep
Preserving your condition
Bound by mercury

This disintegration
Was surely yours to keep
You're stranded in the Everglades
And wrapped within a sheet

All the criminals, just outside the door
Disguised with hatchets, and secrets galore
With their faces scowling at the amber light within
In the hallway closet, i was trembling
After 40 hours, I was wandering
Held hostage through, the august days I burned
In the center closet I was festering
And 6 weeks later, to prison they returned
And it's been 30 years, since we did come this way
And the time has come, for you to serve your pay
