Tekst piosenki
We were standing
Standing by peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Many years ago along the Illinois-Wisconsin border
There was this Indian tribe
They found two babies in the woods, white babies
One of them was named Elizabeth
She was the fairer of the two
While the smaller and more fragile one was named Marie
Having never seen white girls before
And living on the two lakes known as the Twin Lakes
They named the larger and more beautiful Lake, Lake Elizabeth
And thus the smaller lake that was hidden from the highway
Became known forever as Lake Marie
We were standing
Standing by peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Many years later I found myself talking to this girl
Who was standing there with her back turned to Lake Marie
The wind was blowing especially through her hair
There was four Italian sausages cooking on the outdoor grill
And man, they was sssizzlin'
Many years later we found ourselves in Canada
Trying to save our marriage, and perhaps catch a few fish
Whatever seemed easier
That night she fell asleep in my arms
Humming the tune to 'Louie Louie'
Aah baby, We gotta go now
We were standing
Standing by peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
The dogs were barking as the cars were parking
The loan sharks were sharking the narcs were narcing
Practically everyone was there
In the parking lot by the forest preserve
The police had found two bodies
Nay, naked bodies!
Their faces had been horribly disfigured by some sharp object
Saw it on the news
On the TV news
In a black and white video
You know what blood looks like in a black and white video?
Shadows, shadows that’s exactly what it looks like
All the love we shared between her and me was slammed
Slammed up against the banks of Old Lake Marie, Marie
We were standing
Standing by peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Standing by peaceful waters
Peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Peaceful waters
Ahh baby, we gotta go now

Wiele lat temu wzdłuż granicy Illinois-Wisconsin
Było takie indiańskie plemię.
Znaleźli dwoje dzieci w lesie, białe dzieci.
Jedna z nich miała na imię Elżbieta.
Była piękniejsza z dwóch.
Podczas gdy ta mniejsza i delikatniejsza miała na imię Marie
Nigdy wcześniej nie widziałem białych dziewczyn.
I żyjąc nad dwoma jeziorami znanymi jako Twin Lakes
Nazwali większe i piękniejsze Jezioro, Lake Elizabeth
I tak mniejsze jezioro, które było ukryte przed autostradą

We were standing
Standing by peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Wiele lat później zacząłem rozmawiać z tą dziewczyną.
Która stała tam z plecami zwróconymi w stronę jeziora Marie
Wiatr wiał zwłaszcza przez jej włosy.
Na grillu były cztery włoskie kiełbaski.
I stary, oni byli sssizzlin'
Wiele lat później znaleźliśmy się w Kanadzie.
Próbuję uratować nasze małżeństwo i może złowić kilka ryb.
Cokolwiek wydawało się łatwiejsze
Tej nocy zasnęła w moich ramionach
Nucenie melodii do "Louie Louie"
Aah baby, We gotta go now
We were standing
Standing by peaceful waters
Standing by peaceful waters
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Whoa Wah Oh Wha Oh
Psy szczekały, gdy samochody parkowały.
Lichwiarze kradli narkotyki
Praktycznie wszyscy tam byli.
Na parkingu przy rezerwacie leśnym
Policja znalazła dwa ciała.
Nie, nagie ciała!
Ich twarze zostały strasznie oszpecone przez jakiś ostry przedmiot.
Widziałem w wiadomościach.
W wiadomościach telewizyjnych
W czarno-białym wideo
Wiesz, jak wygląda krew w czarno-białym filmie?
Cienie, cienie, dokładnie tak to wygląda.
Cała miłość, którą dzieliliśmy między nią a mną, została zatrzaśnięta.
"Slammed up against the banks of Old Lake" Marie, Marie
