I've seen ^EJesus play with flames, in a lake of fire That I was standing ^Ain ^Asus4 ^A ^Asus4 Met the ^B7devil in Seattle And spent nine months inside the lions.^E.. den ^Esus4 ^E ^Esus4

Met ^EBuddha yet another time And he showed me the glowing light with^Ain ^Asus4 ^A ^Asus4 ^B7But I swear that God is there, every time I glare Into the eyes of my best.^E.. friend ^Esus4 ^E ^Esus4 REFRAIN ^ASays my son, it's all been done Someday you're gonna wake up old and.^E.. gray ^Esus4 ^E ^Esus4 So ^Ago and try to have some fun, showing warmth to everyone B7 (walk down) You meet and greet... and cheat along the way

There's a ^Egateway in our minds that leads somewhere out there Far beyond this ^Aplane ^Asus4 ^A ^Asus4 Where ^B7reptile aliens made of light Cut you open, pull out all your ^Epain ^Esus4 ^E ^Esus4

Tell me ^Ehow you make illegal Something that we all make in our ^Abrain ^Asus4 ^A ^Asus4 Some ^B7say you might go crazy Then again, it might make you go.^E.. sane ^Esus4 ^E ^Esus4

^AEvery time I... take a look... inside that old and... fabled book I'm ^Ablinded and... reminded of... The pain caused by some old man in the ^Esky ^Esus4 ^E ^Esus4 ^AMarijuana... LSD... psilocybin... DMT... ^AThey all changed... the way I see... A B7 (walk down) But love's the only thing... that ever saved my life So, don't ^Ewaste your mind on nursery rhymes or fairy tales of blood and wine It's ^Aturtles all the ^G#mway down the ^F#mline So to ^Aeach their own til' we go home... to other realms our souls must roam ^ATo and through... the myth that... we all call... ^B7space and ^Etime (let final chord ring)
