Convict Lake Lyrics

At Convict Lake
We staked our tent
When the wind rose up
The willows bent
Their airborne spores
Were released to me
I opened my mouth
And let them in

A small black X on the edge of the camp
I couldn't wait to fall off the map
And so I took another tab
A lost bobcat found himself in the camp
I held him close I fed him by hand
And then I took another tab

My friends came down
Way too soon
I stayed high
Like the silvery moon
I awoke in a hospital bed
Bound down like Gulliver tied up in thread
You can't take back what you put in your head
