No one knows where the ladder goes
You're gonna lose what you love the most
You're not alone in anything
You're not unique and dying
Feel estranged every now and then
Fall asleep reading science-fiction
I wanna fly in your silver ship
Let Jesus hang and Buddha sit
It's on now
The days are long now
The ups and the sundowns
The twisting mind
If I've got to go first
I'll do it on my terms
I'm tired of traders
Always changing sides
They were friends of mine...
Don't hang around when the promise breaks
You'll be there when the next one's made
Kiss the feet of a charlatan
Some imagined freedom
All the rest is predictable
You can say you're the first to know
Bought a mantra to concentrate
Call on more hissing snake.
I know now
How it's gonna turn out
We gotta calm down
Or I'll lose my place
Gotta get to the centre
Gotta get to the concert
Run off with a dancer
Gonna celebrate
Welcome the new age
Covered in warrior paint
Lights from the jungle to the sky
Seen how a star's born
Looks just like a blood orange
Don't it just make you want to cry?
Precious friend of mine...
Well, I know when it's finally done
This whole life's a hallucination
You're not alone in anything
You're not alone and trying to be.
