Chris Porro - Lampreys And Gigolos lyrics

Took a trip to the great lakes November 1819

Just myself and some moons boots no one to accompany me

When I got to the beach the sand had been frozen to stone

And a sign warned that lamprey had taken the lake for their home

Still a quarter mile out from the beach where i saw the first waves

And a small group of lake trout had gathered to watch as I sank

Under thick sheets of ice breathing pockets of air on the way.

Each fish patiently waiting for me to remove their lamprey
