The statue got me high
The statue got me high

Chorus 3:
And now it is your turn
(Your turn to see the stone and then your turn to burn)
The stone it calls to you                              
(You can't refuse to do the things it tells you to)    
And as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air
The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair

Post Chorus 2:
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high   
And what they'll find is just a statue  
Standing where the statue got you high
