Original version appears on Duckspeak LP "The Tides", as performed by Sutton Dewey.

lyrics

Almost lost an eye looking out on the lake,
Almost lost an eye looking out on the lake,
And they don't take very kindly to strangers,
And they don't take very kindly to strangers.

But we'll find our way over,
And we'll hope that it's more,
Than some old sewage water,
On an old empty shore,

But maybe that's all there is.

Almost lost an arm trying to swim it,
Almost lost an arm trying to swim it,
And they don't take very kindly to strangers,
And they don't take very kindly to strangers.

But we'll find our way past them,
And we'll hope that there's more,
Than some old broken fences,
On an old empty shore,

But maybe that's all there is.

They don't take very kindly to strangers.
