Hypnotized Songtext
von Bob Hillman

Morning light was unbearably bright
By the time my eyes adjusted
I could see more or less perfectly
The dehydrated landscape
An idea dawned which the mountains beyond
Did their utmost to solidify

I, I, I was hypnotized

God knows why but I′m visited by
My total nightmare vision
I'm a fool wearing shades by the pool
In idle conversation
The reverie ends and I don′t blame my friends
But I might have been living a lie

I, I, I was hypnotized


I am in awe having seen what I saw
The flaws in my existence
"Feel your way," said a spirit betraying
Your ordinary instincts
I make a fist but my demons insist
It's impossible, don't even try

I, I, I was hypnotized

A philosopher would ride out the spell
Meditating in his room at the hotel

Rocks and trees are persuasive
But these other elements mean business
Concrete, glass, gravitational mass
Influential buildings
The following day on the superhighway to the city
I wanted to cry

I, I, I was hypnotized
Was hypnotized
Was hypnotized
