Missed that Hudson River line
Took a train up to Lake Placid
That's another place and time, where

With an army of butterflies pilloried placid and prone

♪
Thoughts replaced by a placid romance
Without movement, I can't escape

We wake up different, rifle through our dreams
Another placid day, ripples at the seams
Do you think I bow out 'cause I think you're right?

(Limp walk with lean)
Take Godzilla and the gator from Lake Placid
Manufacturing in a fashion, mashin', mobbin', stabbin'

Took the boat to the hacienda
Through swimming pools, oh, so placid
Saw Redd Foxx, took a hit of acid

Time: 0:35

Walking the strip
Sweet, soft and placid
Offering their youth

I guess it's just
Lake Placid Blues
I turned eighteen and left that part of the country

Hey, there's you
With placid eyes, oblivious to what's to come
They locked you up

At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy
When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall
