Heart of Darkness Songtext

von Pere Ubu

Maybe you see further than I can see,
Or maybe things just look differently
Maybe I'm nothing but a shadow on the wall
Maybe love's a tomb where you dance at night
Maybe sanctuary is an electric light
I get so tired it's like I'm another man,
And everything I see seems so underhanded
I don't see anything that I want,
And I don't see anything that I want

Image, object, & illusion
Go down to the corner
Where none of the faces fit a human form,
Where nothing I see there isn't deformed,
Where in a secret lab works a Doctor Moreau,
And no private eye's gotta tell me it's a long goodbye
I get so tired it's like I'm another man,
And everything I see seems so underhanded
I don't see anything that I want,
And I don't see anything that I want
Looking into the heart of darkness
