I know what you saw I hope you'll forgive me I know what you saw Please, try and stay with me For thirty long years, I have kept my mouth closed Thinking you'd feel ashamed if the truth were exposed My dear old friend Chainsaw, I'm sorry to say What you know you saw didn't happen that way The night that you found Xanthus, that summer in Bethel It was on the final evening of that outdoor festival Three days and nights of rock and roll and peace and love and acid You accidentally dosed and you were tripping and totally wasted The Jefferson Airplane took the stage, you were in the woods A psychedelic light show lit up the neighborhood During the finale the circuits overloaded The sky was all ablaze because a lighting rig exploded Mayhem ensued, bikers bum-rushed the show Smashing the stage in the eerie blue glow Guitars were flyin', a scaffold collapsed People ran for their lives and they never looked back And when the smoke clears and the hippies go home A baby (Xanthus) Abandoned (Xanthus) Is left all alone It was not my intent that you'd be so misled I know what you saw, I'm the mother who fled I was young and confused, that does not make it right Yet I stick out my thumb, I will hitch through the night But festival traffic is backed up for miles I return to the maple where I left my child And there he is sleeping and safe in the hands Of the natural father Our wood-cutting man So Chainsaw's my father and Joyce is my mom You are my parents and I am your son Just a regular garden-variety birth There's no other dimension I'm only from Earth |
