Mike Oldfield
Song from the Bottom of a Well
[Verse 1]
This is a song from the bottom of a well
There are things down here I've got to try to tell
It's dark and light at the very same time
And the water sometimes seems like wine
[Verse 2]
I learned some information way down here
That might fill your heart and soul with fear
But don't you worry, no, don't be afraid
I'm not in the magical mystery trade
[Verse 3]
My imagination begins to purr
As things don't happen, they just occur
Softly crackling electrical smell
There's something burning at the bottom of this well
[Verse 4]
Sitting here alone, I just have to laugh
I see all the universe as a comfortable bath
I drown my body so my mind is free
To indulge in pleasurable fantasies
[Verse 5]
There's something strange going on down here
A sickening implosion of mistrust and fear
A vast corruption that's about to boil
A mixture of greed and the smell of oil
[Verse 6]
This is a song from the bottom of a well
I didn't move here, I just fell
But I'm not complaining, I don't even care
'Cause if I'm not here, then it's not there
