Lyrics (some amendments to original):
No one knows where the ladder goes
You're gonna lose what you love the most
You're not alone in anything
You're not unique in dying
I feel estranged every now and then
Fall asleep reading science fiction
I wanna fly in no silver ships
Let Jesus hang and let Buddha sit
Caus it‘s on now, the days are long now
The ups and the sundowns I got a twisting mind
If I have to go first, I'll do it on my terms
I'm tired of traitors always changing sides
They were once friends of mine
Don't hang around once the promise breaks
Or you'll be there when the next one's made
Kiss the feet of a charlatan
That’s your imagined freedom
All the rest is predictable
Oh you said you’d be the first to know
Bought a mantra to concentrate
It sounded like a car alarm, it sounded just like a hissing snake
I know now, how it's gonna turn out
You gotta calm down or I'll lose my place
Gotta get to the center, gotta get to my concert
Run off with a dancer, we gonna celebrate
Welcome the new age covered in warrior paint
The lights from the jungle go up to the sky
Do you see now, a star's born, she looks just like a blood red orange
Don't it just make you wanna cry?
Precious friend of mine
Will we know when it's finally done
This whole life's a hallucination
You're not alone in anything
You're not alone even when you’re trying to be
