Bell Swamp Connection

[Verse 1]

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 ocean

100 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 motion

[Verse 2]

Eastern red cedars, and the pines

And suddenly an elevated stone slab

In what must have been a clearing once

Try to recognize the signals and the signposts

My curiosity

Will likely always get the best of me

[Pre-Chorus]

It's like that one thing

My dad kept trying to tell me

As the twilight

Inched its way on up his body

[Chorus]

Get out

Get out

Get out

Get out

[Verse 3]

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 closed

Woke up in near darkness

What the hell is wrong with me

Volunteer pines in the hundreds in the dusk

Like military tentpoles

[Verse 4]

Let my eyes adjust

Try to read the markings on the slab

Weird alphabets I felt sure I hadn't seen

Just before I passed out

Stars growing brighter

Me looking up

Like a lobster in a cage down in the depths

Beneath the bottom of a glass boat

[Pre-Chorus]

And I heard a voice

From somewhere out beyond the free fall

Like a captive soldier

Just trying to warn his brothers

[Chorus]

Get out

Get out

Get out

Get out
