Lyrics Roky Erickson

Roky Erickson

I Have Always Been Here Before

It seems like a bell rings time for deja vu

Everything is familiar from being here with you

All you ever had before you've had to understand

Now all you have to do is want to have at your command

I have always been here before

Allowing my mind's call of known of

In cold parade more never stops this flow

I have always been here before

That that is pleasing, that that is real

That that is forever keeps filling never filled

That that snuck up on you in the night

That that you remember in an early child's delight

That that was supposed to have frightened you

But somehow you never took to fright

I have always been here before

Allowing my mind's call of known of

In cold parade more never stops this flow

I have always been here before

From the gargoyles to Stonehenge

From the Sphinx to the pyramids

To Lucifer's temples praising the devil right

To the devil's clock as it strikes midnight

I have always been here before

Allowing my mind's call of known of

In cold parade more never stops this flow

I have always been here before
