Grand Mal Lyrics
Grand mal paid you a call
On the avenue
Bright white shot through the night
And I followed it to you
Look through your window
Went blind and broke
And you walked out into a ghost town
No one to see what you're going through now
No one to see what you do
You took a fall and I followed down
As far as I could go
Grand mal, it's all over now
Buried back below
When it comes calling
Drawing you in
Don't forget how much I love you
There's no one to see what you're going through now
No one to see what you're going through now
No one to see what you do
Remember these mirror eyes
(Forget it, now it's too fast . . .)
On the avenue
Bright white shot through the night
And I followed it to you
Went blind and broke
And you walked out into a ghost town
No one to see what you're going through now
No one to see what you do
As far as I could go
Grand mal, it's all over now
Buried back below
Drawing you in
Don't forget how much I love you
There's no one to see what you're going through now
No one to see what you're going through now
No one to see what you do
Remember these mirror eyes

Always great to hear 'new' Elliott. Keeps his memory going. I like this.
Where did you come across this song? Are you sure it's Elliott?
agreed. fantastic.
hmmm well it seems to be referring to a friend of his that is epileptic.
well not necessarily...grand mal also means great illness in french. they could just be ill. but I can also see it talking about epilepsy. such a great song!
