Electric Light Orchestra - Witness lyrics

I saw an ant devour Sherman mountain.

Slip across the floor in the river of honey.

I saw the locust drinking from a fountain.

It smiled at me as I paid my money.

CHORUS

Caus' I'm a witness, witness, see the writing on the wall.

I'm a witness, witness, I say I've seen it all.

Caus' I'm a witness, witness, I've got all the proof.

I'm a witness, witness, I swear to tell the truth.

I saw her buying in the face of fashion.

Who'll believe with her little white lies.

I saw her arrive on my bed of passion.

But I never saw a look of love in her eyes.

CHORUS

Some days my eyes can see for miles and miles around.

Some nights my dreams just take me deep underground.

My minds a time machine, I'm in the future and the past.

The past... Scrape away...

(Violin Solo)

CHORUS

CHORUS

Witness, witness, witness

Witness, witness, witness

Witness, witness, witness

Witness, witness, witness
