I sip lotus leaf tea And go to sleep beneath The Bodhi Tree Keeping the boat at sea, even with the monsters beneath me Swamping to greet me, their teeth from the frozen deep Wrenched from my chrysalis and I'm a naked bug Taken by the icy winds, baking in the blazin’ sun Waking up, shaking, take my brain from its paper cup And place it in my cranium again until my day is up Take the bus with the fiends for the angel dust Breaking hot rocks like they’re bound with the chain and cuff “Take a puff" said the slack-jawed shoulder-devil Forked tongue talking of a hack for the golden petal The smoulder settles, the ash makes a fertile bed For lotuses, hopelessness, focus, and external dread I've heard it said that still waters run the deepest Underneath the lotus leaf- it grows to reach a sun that feeds it 9-5, focus on the grind, like your opus It’s high time you open up your mind like the lotus And float above the skyline, miles high, hoping that the Roaches, rats, and blind mice slide by, unnoticed 9-5, focus on the grind, like your opus It’s high time you open up your mind like the lotus And float above the skyline, miles high, hoping that the Roaches, rats, and blind mice slide by, unnoticed Play golf and laugh while the earth burns I hope you die- serve your next life as an earthworm The vermin: building us a cage with a running wheel “Pedal for a pellet, for the merit, it's a stunner deal!” That don’t appeal- I'd rather sip the sweet nectar A man's gotta eat- that’s why I applied to be a beat-tester I never was anything better than carbon dust and memories Still, the devil was peddlin' edibles when I was starving, just to tempt me I park up next to Bentleys and step out of my magic carpet Ragged garments, chances are I planned some larks with blaggers and varmints Largely harmless. Twist 'em up, like Karma Sutra Snip the shrub and pass the Buddha. Chew the roots and view the future Choose your own adventure Endeavour to better your spawning grounds The seeds of all creation bathe in toxic rain from warning clouds They're snoring loud, alarms are sounding, hearts are pounding like the Drums of war The calm before the storm A dawn is flowering 9-5, focus on the grind, like your opus It’s high time you open up your mind like the lotus And float above the skyline, miles high, hoping that the Roaches, rats, and blind mice slide by, unnoticed 9-5, focus on the grind, like your opus It’s high time you open up your mind like the lotus And float above the skyline, miles high, hoping that the Roaches, rats, and blind mice slide by, unnoticed
