00:46Many years ago

00:53Along the Illinois-Wisconsin border

00:56There was this Indian tribe

00:59They found two babies in the woods

01:02White babies

01:04One of them was named Elizabeth

01:06And she was the fairer of the two

01:09A while the smaller and more fragile one

01:13Was named Marie

01:14Having never seen white girls before

01:24And living on the two lakes known as the Twin Lakes

01:28They named the larger and more beautiful lake

01:31Lake Elizabeth

01:32And thus the smaller lake that was hidden from the highway

01:37Became known forever as

01:40Lake Marie

01:42We were standing

01:48Standing by a piece for a while

02:10Many years ago

02:18I found myself talking to this girl

02:23Who was standing there

02:26With her back turned to Lake Marie

02:29The wind was blowing

02:33Especially through her hair

02:36There was four Italian sausages

02:40Cooking on the outdoor grill

02:42Man, they were sizzling

02:46Many years later

02:52We found ourselves up in Canada

02:54Trying to say about marriage

02:57And perhaps

02:59Catch a few fish

03:02Whatever came first

03:06That night she fell asleep in my arms

03:10Humming the tune to Louis Louis

03:13Oh, baby

03:17We gotta go now

03:22We were standing

03:25Standing by a piece for a while

03:54The dogs were barking

04:00As the cars were barking

04:02The loon sharks were shocking

04:05And the narks were knocking

04:08Practically everyone was there

04:11In the parking lot

04:13By the forest preserve

04:14The police had found

04:17Two bodies in the woods

04:18Nay

04:19Naked bodies

04:21And their faces have been

04:24Horribly disfigured

04:25By some kind of

04:27Sharp object

04:28Saw it on the news, you know

04:31In a black and white video

04:34You know what blood looks like

04:37In black and white, don't you?

04:39Shadows

04:40Shadows

04:41That's what it looks like

04:51All the love we shared

04:54Between her and me, that is

04:57Man, it was slammed

04:59Slammed up against the banks

05:03Of old Nick Marie
