Lyrics

[00:00.00] Vocal:John Linnell/John Flansburgh
[00:09.39] The statue got me high
[00:12.42] The statue got me high
[00:15.72] The monument of granite sent a beam into my eye
[00:21.96] The statue made me die
[00:25.14] The statue made me die
[00:28.41] It took my hand it killed me and it turned me to the sky
[00:34.71] The stone it called to me
[00:36.99] (And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)
[00:41.94] A rock that spoke a word
[00:44.16] (An animated mineral it can be heard)
[00:49.02] And though I once preferred a human being's company
[00:55.26] They pale before the monolith that towers over me
[01:01.68] The statue got me high
[01:04.89] The statue got me high
[01:08.13] The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie
[01:14.40] The statue made me fry
[01:17.64] The statue made me fry
[01:20.76] My coat contained a furnace where there used to be a guy
[01:27.09] The stone it called to me
[01:29.37] (And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)
[01:34.29] A rock that spoke a word
[01:36.51] (An animated mineral it can be heard)
[01:41.43] And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air
[01:47.73] The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chair
[01:54.15] And what they found was just a statue
[01:57.18] Standing where the statue got me high
[02:02.10] And what they found was just a statue
[02:05.13] Standing where the statue got me high
[02:21.12] And now it is your turn
[02:23.34] (Your turn to hear the stone and then your turn to burn)
[02:28.23] The stone it calls to you
[02:30.42] (You can't refuse to do the things it tells you to)
[02:35.40] And as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air
[02:41.67] The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair
[02:48.12] And what they found was just a statue
[02:51.18] Standing where the statue got me high
[02:56.07] And what they'll find is just a statue
[02:59.10] Standing where the statue got you high
