The Golden Path
The Chemical Brothers, The Flaming Lips
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
As I walked along The supposed golden path I was confronted By mysterious spectre He pointed to the graveyard Over on yonder hill I paused in cosmic reflection Confused on wondering Of how I came to die Hm! I was confused Coz if I was dead How and why did I die And I composed myself And decided I should face it Then I stood paralized On the supposed golden path And I was confronted By powerful demon force And there was the devil And we spoke his words Flowed like glowing lava from the mouth of a volcano And I said: Help me, Lord! I found myself in some kinda hell But I did not believe in heaven and hell World in opposites kind of reality But I gained control of myself And decided to press on As I walked along The supposed golden path I was trembling with fear All the lions and the wizards yet to come I seen in the distance Silver mountains rising high in the clouds And a voice from above did whisper Some shining answer from the moon Please forgive me I never meant to hurt you
