Lake Marie |
| We were standing |
| Standing by peaceful waters |
| Standing by peaceful waters |
| Whoa wah oh wha oh Whoa wah oh wha oh Many years ago along the illinois-wisconsin border |
| There was this indian tribe |
| They found two babies in the woods |
| White babies |
| One of them was named elizabeth |
| She was the fairer of the two |
| While the smaller and more fragile one was named marie |
| Having never seen white girls before |
| And living on the two lakes known as the twin lakes |
| They named the larger and more beautiful lake, lake elizabeth |
| And thus the smaller lake that was hidden from the highway |
| Became known forever as lake marie |
| Repeat chorus: |
| Many years later I found myself talking to this girl |
| Who was standing there with her back turned to lake marie |
| The wind was blowing especially through her hair |
| There was four italian sausages cooking on the outdoor grill |
| And man, they was ssssssssizzlin |
| Many years later we found ourselves in canada |
| Trying to save our marriage and perhaps catch a few fish |
| Whatever seemed easier |
| That night she fell asleep in my arms |
| Humming the tune to «louie louie |
| Aah baby, we gotta go now. |
| Repeat chorus: |
| The dogs were barking as the cars were parking |
| The loan sharks were sharking the narcs were narcing |
| Practically everyone was there |
| In the parking lot by the forest preserve |
| The police had found two bodies |
| Nay, naked bodies |
| Their faces had been horribly disfigured by some sharp object |
| Saw it on the news on the tv news in a black and white video |
| You know what blood looks like in a black and white video? |
| Shadows, shadows thats exactly what it looks like |
| All the love we shared between her and me was slammed |
| Slammed up against the banks of old lake marie, marie |
| We were standing |
| Standing by peaceful waters |
| Standing by peaceful waters |
| Whoa wah oh wha oh Whoa wah oh wha oh Whoa wah oh wha oh Whoa wah oh wha oh Standing by peaceful waters |
| Peaceful waters |
| Standing by peaceful waters |
| Peaceful waters |
| Standing by peaceful waters |
| Peaceful waters |
| Standing by peaceful waters |
| Peaceful waters |
| Aah baby, we gotta go now |
