E                                                                       A
I've seen Jesus play with flames in a lake of fire that I was standing in
        B7                                                   E
Met the devil in Seattle and spent 9 months inside the lions den
E                                                             A
Met Buddha yet another time and he showed me a glowing light within
       B7                                                               E
But I swear that God is there every time I glare in the eyes of my best friend
 
 
A                                                                     E
Says my son it's all been done and someday yer gonna wake up old and gray
A
So go and try to have some fun showing warmth to everyone
                                        B7     B7 A G# F# E
You meet and greet and cheat along the way
 
 
 
E                                                                          A
There's a gateway in our mind that leads somewhere out there far beyond this plane
B7                                                                    E
Where reptile aliens made of light cut you open and pull out all your pain
E                                                               A
Tell me how you make illegal something that we all make in our brain
     B7                                                          E
Some say you might go crazy but then again it might make you go sane
 
 
 
A            A             A                  A
Every time I take a look inside  that old and fabled book
    A           A               A                   A              E
I'm blinded and reminded of the pain caused by some old man in the sky
A          A    A               A   A                    A
Marijuana, LSD, psilocybin, and DMT they all changed the way I see
A                                             B7     B7 A G# F# E
But love's the only thing that ever saved my life
 
 
E
So don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes
Or fairy tales of blood and wine
A                    G#m          F#m
It's turtles all the way down the line
 
A
So to each their own til' we go home
To other realms our souls must roam
                                         B7        E
To and through the myth that we all call space and time
