| [00:53.80] | In the corner of the morning in the past |
| [00:57.950] | I would sit and blame the master first and last |
| [01:02.830] | All the roads were straight and narrow |
| [01:05.580] | And the prayers were small and yellow |
| [01:08.30] | And the rumour spread that I was aging fast |
| [01:13.330] | Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping |
| [01:17.150] | By a tree |
| [01:18.520] | And I looked and frowned and the monster was me |
| [01:25.270] | |
| [01:31.530] | Well, I said hello and I said hello |
| [01:36.420] | And I asked "Why not?" and I replied "I don't know" |
| [01:41.650] | So we asked a simple black bird, who was happy as can be |
| [01:46.900] | And he laughed insane and quipped "KAHLIL GIBRAN" |
| [01:51.30] | |
| [01:52.50] | And I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through |
| [01:57.240] | For I realized that God's a young man too |
| [02:04.400] | |
| [02:09.900] | Ho |
| [02:15.210] | |
| [03:02.320] | Oh I said "So long" and I waved "Bye-bye" |
| [03:05.100] | |
| [03:07.330] | And I smashed my soul and traded my mind |
| [03:11.310] | |
| [03:12.500] | Got laid by a young bordello |
| [03:15.170] | Who was vaguely half asleep |
| [03:17.620] | For which my reputation swept back home in drag |
| [03:22.740] | And the moral of this magic spell |
| [03:25.500] | Negotiates my hide |
| [03:27.990] | When God did take my logic for a ride |
| [03:32.340] | （Riding along） |
| [03:37.50] | |
| [05:12.800] | Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooooh |
| [05:26.480] | Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh |
| [05:36.230] | |
| [05:40.570] | He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips |
| [05:44.170] | And showed me the leather belt round his hips |
| [05:46.730] | |
| [05:47.830] | My knees were shaking my cheeks aflame |
| [05:50.290] | |
| [05:51.170] | He said "You'll never go down to the Gods again" |
| [05:54.120] | （Turn around, go back!） |
| [05:55.700] | He struck the ground a cavern appeared |
| [05:58.650] | And I smelt the burning pit of fear |
| [06:02.310] | We crashed a thousand yards below |
| [06:05.670] | I said "Do it again, do it again" |
| [06:08.640] | （Turn around, go back!） |
| [06:10.50] | His nebulous body swayed above |
| [06:12.980] | His tongue swollen with devil's love |
| [06:16.550] | The snake and I, a venom high |
| [06:19.880] | I said "Do it again, do it again" |
| [06:22.480] | （Turn around, go back!） |
| [06:24.60] | Breathe, breathe, breathe deeply |
| [06:26.950] | And I was seething, breathing deeply |
| [06:30.820] | Spitting sentry, horned and tailed |
| [06:34.440] | Waiting for you |
| [06:37.940] | Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
| [06:43.730] | |
| [06:58.670] | Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |

| [03:02.320] | Oh I said " So long" and I waved " Byebye" |
| [03:05.100] | |
