Third eye

See I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor; go home tonight, take all your albums, all your tapes and all your cd's, and burn 'em. Because you know what? The musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years... real fucking high on drugs.

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.


Dreaming of that face again
It's bright and blue and shimmering
Grinning wide and comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes

On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again, back again
Rising up and wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye

Eye(x4)

In, out(x35)
In

A child's rhyme stuck in my head
See that life is but a dream
I spent so many years of questioning
To find I've known this all along

So good to see you, I missed you so much
So glad it's over, I missed you so much
Came out to watch you play, why are you running away? Came out to watch you play, why are you running?

How

Shrouding all of the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun?
I stick my hand into the shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand
Which I attempt to reassemble
See just who I might have been
I do not recognize the vessel
But the eyes seem so familiar
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song

So good to see you, I missed you so much
So glad it's over, I missed you so much
Came out to watch you play, why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play, why are you running away?

Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye

So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding
You thought that I had run away
Chasing the tail of dogma

I opened my eye
I opened my eye
I opened my eye
And there we were
I opened my eye
I opened my eye
I opened my eye
And there we were

So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding from me
And you thought that I had run away
Chasing the trail of smoke and reason

I opened my eye and there we were

Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
