Larissa's Lagoon

Idina Menzel · Still I Can't Be Still [1998]

Down in Larissa's lagoon

She sits by the light of the moon

She's hearing voices in her head

She must be strong

She must not give in to the song

She's hearing voices in her head

Down in Larissa's lagoon

Her guests - they sleep in separate rooms

But her father comes to tuck her into bed

She's lost her mind

Got no control

And there's nowhere else to go

When her father comes to tuck her into bed



But Larissa woke up one morning

singing hallelujah

Remember me for my passion

The paradise that I imagined

Hallelujah...



Down in Larissa's lagoon

The skies - they never look blue

'Cause someone spiked the rain

With a little extra juice

She thinks she's being followed

Any minute she'll be swallowed

Someone spiked this rain

With a little extra juice



But Larissa woke up one morning

Singing hallelujah

Remember me for my passion

The paradise that I imagined

Hallelujah...



Hallelujah...hallelujah

Hallelujah...hallelujah



Down in Larissa's lagoon

There is no force that's greater

Looming deep within a very, very, very troubled girl

She stays awake for hours

Picking out the sweetest flowers

To lay upon the grave of a very, very troubled girl



But Larissa woke up one morning

Singing hallelujah

Remember me for my passion

The paradise that I imagined

Hallelujah
