VERSE I've seen Jesus play with flames, in a lake of fire That I was standing in Met the devil in Seattle And spent nine months inside the lions... den Met Buddha yet another time And he showed me the glowing light within But I swear that God is there, every time I glare Into the eyes of my best... friend Says my son, it's all been done Someday you're gonna wake up old and... gray So go and try to have some fun, showing warmth to everyone (walk down) You meet and greet... and cheat along the way There's a gateway in our minds that leads somewhere out there Far beyond this plane Where reptile aliens made of light Cut you open, pull out all your pain Tell me how you make illegal Something that we all make in our brain Some say you might go crazy Then again, it might make you go... sane Every time I... take a look... inside that old and... fabled book I'm blinded and... reminded of... The pain caused by some old man in the sky Marijuana... LSD... psilocybin... DMT... They all changed... the way I see... (walk down) But love's the only thing... that ever saved my life So, don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes or fairy tales of blood and wine It's turtles all the way down the line So to each their own til' we go home... to other realms our souls must roam To and through... the myth that... we all call... space and time (let final chord ring)
