I Have Always Been Here Before Lyrics by Roky Erickson

Gremlins Have Pictures

1986

It seems like a bell rings time and Déjà vu
Everything is familiar, I been 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 no love
Incorporate more never stops his 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 him an early child 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 no love
Incorporate more never stops his flow
I have always been here before
From the gargoyles to Stonehenge
From the Sphinx to the pyramids
Religious 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 no love
Incorporate more never stops his flow
I have always been here before
