Turtles All The Way Down
I've seen Jesus play with flamesIn a lake of fire that I was standing inMet the devil in SeattleAnd spent 9 months inside the lions denMet Buddha yet another timeAnd he showed me a glowing light withinBut I swear that God is thereEvery time I glare in the eyes of my best friendSays my son, "It's all been doneAnd someday you're gonna wake up old and graySo go and try to have some funShowing warmth to everyoneYou meet and greet and cheat along the way"There's a gateway in our mindsThat leads somewhere out there, far beyond this planeWhere reptile aliens made of lightCut you open and pull out all your painTell me how you make illegalSomething that we all make in our brainSome say you might go crazyBut then again it might make you go saneEvery time I take a lookInside inside that old and fabled bookSongtexteI'm blinded and reminded ofThe pain caused by some old man in the skyMarijuana, LSDPsilocybin, and DMTThey all changed the way I seeBut love's the only thing that ever saved my lifeSo don't waste your mind on nursery rhymesOr fairy tales of blood and wineIt's turtles all the way down the lineSo to each their own 'til we go homeTo other realms our souls must roamTo and through the myth that we all call space and time Aus Songtexte Mania
