The Pan Within (In A Special Place) - The Waterboys

Pan is one of the Greek gods.
He’s the god of wild places, of wild creatures. 
He also has a lusty animal side to him. 
And we all have a bit of Pan inside us. 
Because Pan is also the word for 'all'.
So Pan is inside all. 
Pan is an archetypal life-force, personified as this Greek god with the legs of a goat and the torso of a man and the horns on the head. 
And we all have that life force in us. 
So the Pan within is that part of us that is that archetypal founding life force.

Come with me

on a journey beneath the skin

Come with me

on a journey under the skin

We will look together

for the Pan within

Close your eyes

breathe slow we'll begin

Close your eyes

breathe slow and we will begin

To look together

for the Pan within

swing your hips

loose your head, and let it spin

Swing your hips

loose you head, and let it spin

And we will look together

for the Pan within

Close your eyes

breathe slow and we will begin

Close your eyes

breathe slow and we will begin

To look together

for the Pan within

Put your face in my window

breathe a night full of treasures

The wind is delicious

sweet and wild with the promise of pleasure

The stars are alive

and nights like these

Were born to be

sanctified by you and me

Lovers, thieves, fools and pretenders

and all we gotta do is surrender

Come with me

on a journey under the skin

Come with me

on a journey under the skin

And we will look together

for the Pan within

When to be with you

is not a sin

When to be with you, oh just to be with you

is not a sin

We will look together

for the Pan within
