Third Eye

Lyrics

"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 and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CDs and burn 'em"
 "'Cause you know what? The musicians who've 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 is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves"
 "Here's Tom with the weather"
 ♪
 "It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom, that's what it is, okay?"
 "Keep that in mind at all times, thank you"
 ♪
 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
 Rising up and wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye
 ♪
 In
 Out
 In
 Out
 ♪
 A child's rhyme stuck in my head
 It said that life is but a dream
 I've spent so many years in question
 To find I've known this all along
 So good to see you
 I've missed you so much
 So glad it's over
 I've 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?
 ♪
 Shrouding all 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 his shadow
 To pull the pieces from the sand
 Which I attempt to reassemble
 To 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've missed you so much
 So glad it's over
 I've 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
 And you thought that I had run away
 Chasing the tail of dogma
 I opened my eye
 I opened my eye
 I opened my eye
 I opened my eye
 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 a trail of smoke and reason
 ♪
 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
