lyrics

I stopped on the middle of the railroad tracks with my backpack. And I saw a lady holding the head of Buddha, my legs locked up. The birds laughed as I turned around and walked back down, I walked back down. My brain wept, he can't understand but my heart makes sense, he's full, he's tense. The moon laid down his yellow head. The river's mouth was shy as it's ever been. I found myself in silence again. At home I turned on the T.V. and there was God looking back at me. He said, "Hey, listen what I say!" But I say "No way, no way Jose!" And just like a waterfall I cried and walked outside, I walked outside where shined a light. A light that shined so bright my eyes were focused, hocus-pocus. And I dreamt the snake heads went back into the right hands of Marsha and her man. A bakery in Egypt in the sand. Oh, I dreamt the snake heads went back.
