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