In the summer of '22
or was it '69?
I met you through my cousin Lou
and we became entwined
We swam in shallow waters
into a hidden cove
The fuse was lit, the fire it grew
I panicked and I dove

I deviated... got separated... miscalculated... I should have waited
I deviated... got separated... miscalculated

We laid down in a boathouse
We talked and drank the time
and though we lost our bearing
we didn't seem to mind.
We talked about our future days
together, me and you
but the dice were tossed, and I got lost
and never did find you

I deviated... got separated... miscalculated... I should have waited
I deviated... got separated... miscalculated

As I was walking toward your house
I found a boulder in my path
I chose to take another route
and risk not getting back
I met a shaman on the road
with a package in his hand
He sang a song, and I was gone
into another land.

I deviated... got separated... miscalculated... I should have waited
I deviated... I got sedated... was insulated... I self-inflated...
indoctrinated
