Flatlanders Bhagavan Decreed
Trains cannot defeat me when I'm stoned little darling Sticks and stones can beat you out of time And I'm standing on the brink of a bridge that's black at sunrise I don't think I'll be home in time to dine
Each plant has a root that's dipped in blood So later on we'll all find out we're just nameless mud And I'm sayin' good bye to those old-time demons darling Leave at your own risk, not mine
Why can't you make it to the place you're always going to Could it be you're going to all the time Well I might be traveling backwards when I wake up tomorrow If you must go won't you please leave me a dime
The earth turns on a Bhagavan decree So later on we'll see ourselves and all be free But sayin' goodbye to you is suicidal darling Don't hang your mind up just where I hang mine
Life is a quarry you can dig all you want too Rock and jump and ball go up or down And you can burn your brain cells out just trying to get higher But you'll find my highest place is underground
They've got you like the moon has got the tide You say your tripping babe you're going for a ride You say one day soon we will all stand as brothers Till then I guess we'll just stand around
