Hey-ya Hey-ya Hey-ya



There'll come a time

when your bones get weak

Your lungs get wheezy

and your knees start to creak

Your hands won't do what you tell them to

And your heart gives in to the beat of

why-not-slow-down-and-die



But the breath of death may never come

if you tune in to the serpent hum

Visualize the cool blue light

Live again on the other side

Break the doors of perception down

No drugs required Eternal Now

The danger point brings out your best

Refuse to rest

And you will never die



Hey-ya Hey-ya Hey-ya Hey-ya

Snake Dance of the Old People



There's a secret There's a trick

Preserve your body and never get sick

Love from lust and joy from pain

Raise your sex up to the top of your brain

The highest point inside your dreams

Where the silence begins to scream

Live again on the other side

You're immortal

You will never die



and 1 and 2 and ebb and flow

and 3 and 4 and wax and wane

and 5 and 6 and be reborn
