This is a song from the bottom of a well
There are things down here
I've got to try and tell;
It's dark and light at the very same time, 
The water sometimes seems like wine.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
