Electric Light Orchestra Witness Lyrics

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

 Witness, witness, witness
 Witness, witness, witness
 Witness, witness, witness
 Witness, witness, witness
