Lyrics

The Golden Eel

[Verse 1]

Sitting alone in the den

Watching the eel

Help me find my way home

Watching the eel

Burrows its head in the sand

Daylight has come

There shall be rest in a while

Daylight has come

[Chorus]

I cannot reveal

The words of the golden eel

[Verse 2]

Who can explain all these thoughts

Racking my mind

An endless barrage of shit

Racking my mind

The eel offered his help

I can't understand

Speaking its truth from the bank

Now I can see

[Chorus]

I cannot reveal

The words of the golden eel

I cannot reveal

The words of the golden eel

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

I cannot reveal

The words of the golden eel

I cannot reveal

The words of the golden eel

I cannot reveal

The words of the golden eel

I cannot reveal

The words of the golden eel
