E                                                                       A
I've seen Jesus play with flames in a lake of fire that I was standing in
        B                                                    E
Met the devil in Seattle and spent 9 months inside the lions den
E                                                             A
Met Buddha yet another time and he showed me a glowing light within
       B                                                                E
But I swear that God is there every time I glare in the eyes of my best friend


A                                                                     E
Says my son it's all been done and someday yer gonna wake up old and gray
A
So go and try to have some fun showing warmth to everyone
                                        B      B A G# F# E
You meet and greet and cheat along the way



E                                                                          A
There's a gateway in our mind that leads somewhere out there far beyond this plane
B                                                                     E                                                                       
Where reptile aliens made of light cut you open and pull out all your pain
E                                                               A
Tell me how you make illegal something that we all make in our brain
     B                                                           E
Some say you might go crazy but then again it might make you go sane



A            A             A                  A         
Every time I take a look inside  that old and fabled book
    A           A               A                   A              E
I'm blinded and reminded of the pain caused by some old man in the sky
A          A    A               A   A                    A
Marijuana, LSD, psilocybin, and DMT they all changed the way I see
A                                             B      B A G# F# E
But love's the only thing that ever saved my life


E
So don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes
Or fairy tales of blood and wine
A                    G#m          F#m                    
It's turtles all the way down the line

A
So to each their own til' we go home
To other realms our souls must roam
                                         B         E
To and through the myth that we all call space and time
