Alexei Panshin's The Abyss of Wonder
Hoo, hoo, goes the night owl
The lady wakes again
Hoo, hoo, goes the night owl
My lady wakes again
She's been runnin' through the darkness
The Devil's got her by a chainShe's been tryin' to get some peace
But her mind won't let her be
She's tryin' so hard to get some peace
But her mind just won't let her be
There's fire on the mountain
Fire in the deep blue seaWell, it's East and West, left and right
Heaven and Hell, darkness and light
Where do they come from? And where do they go?
Dancin' like firelight, meltin' like snowShe's tryin' to see her face
But the mirrors have been sold
She's tryin' to see her face
But all the mirrors have been sold
She's livin' in a house of strangers
And all she can see is the worldBecause it's East and West, left and right
Heaven and Hell, darkness and light
Where do they come from? And where do they go?
Dancin' like firelight, meltin' like springtime snowSplashin' through the water
Horses are crossing the stream
Splashin' through the water
Her horses are fording the stream
Sometimes life seems so real
Other times she knows it's all a dream
