Reverberation

(album: The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators - 1966)

Well, you finally find
Your helpless mind
Is trapped inside your skin
You want to leave
But you believe
You won't get back again
You only know
You have to go
But still you can't get out
You try and try
You die and die
You're stopped by your own doubt

Reverberation
Reverberation

You find no peace
It doesn't cease
It's deadly irritation
It keeps you blind
It's there behind
Your every hesitation
It holds your thought
Your mind is caught
Your fixed with fascination
You think you'll die
It's just a lie
It's backward elevation

Reverberation
Reverberation
You see reverberation
In your latest incarnation
You think it's a sensation
But it's just reverberation

You start to serve
The downward curve
That catches up your fears
Each thing you do
Comes home to you
And pounds inside your ears
Your start to fight
Against the night
That screams inside your mind
When something black
It answers back
And grabs you from behind

Reverberation
Echoing through your brain
Reverberation
Driving your mind insane
Reverberation
Causing your blood to drain
Leaving just charred remains
