| The statue got me high | |
| The statue got me high | |
| The monument of granite sent a beam into my eye | |
| The statue made me die | |
| The statue made me die | |
| It took my hand it killed me and it turned me to the sky | |
| The stone it called to me | |
| (And now I see the things the stone has shown to me) | |
| A rock that spoke a word | |
| (An animated mineral it can be heard) | |
| And though I once preferred a human being's company | |
| They pale before the monolith that towers over me | |
| The statue got me high | |
| The statue got me high | |
| The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie | |
| The statue made me fry | |
| The statue made me fry | |
| My coat contained a furnace where there used to be a guy | |
| The stone it called to me | |
| (And now I see the things the stone has shown to me) | |
| A rock that spoke a word | |
| (An animated mineral it can be heard) | |
| And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air | |
| The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chair | |
| And what they found was just a statue | |
| Standing where the statue got me high | |
| And what they found was just a statue | |
| Standing where the statue got me high | |
| And now it is your turn | |
| (Your turn to hear 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 | |
| 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 |
