Witness Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

I saw an ant devour sherman mountain. 

Slip across the floor in the river of honey. 

I saw the locust drinking from a fountain. 

It smiled at me as I paid my money. 

Chorus 

Caus' I'm a witness, witness, see the writing on the wall. 

I'm a witness, witness, I say I've seen it all. 

Caus' I'm a witness, witness, I've got all the proof. 

I'm a witness, witness, I swear to tell the truth. 

I saw her buying in the face of fashion. 

Who'll believe with her little white lies. 

I saw her arrive on my bed of passion. 

But I never saw a look of love in her eyes. 

Chorus 

Some days my eyes can see for miles and miles around. 

Some nights my dreams just take me deep underground. 

My minds a time machine, I'm in the future and the past. 

The past... scrape away... 

(violin solo) 

Chorus 

Chorus 

Witness, witness, witness 

Witness, witness, witness 

Witness, witness, witness 

Witness, witness, witness
