We called it this - he called it that

But never what it was

We called it shit - we called it grass

That's the way it was

He took it once - just for the thrill

He'd bought a ticket to ride



We laughed about - the jokes he told

He was one of the boys

Hey, what a guy - he used to be

When he was sober and dry



Smoky nights - gloomy lights

He was high as a kite

When he turned into the demon

No way to calm it down

Just like a jekyl and hide



He wasn't bulletproof - he shot himself the final round

No man is bulletproof - it's destination underground



Too many journeys - on acid trains

Too many trips - on the astral plane



Danced with lucy in the sky

On a cloud of ecstasy

Too late to stop him now

Even sacrifice his mother

Turn against his only friend

To reach the ultimate high



He wasn't bulletproof - shot himself the final round

No man is bulletproof - it's destination underground

Bulletproof - the chief is your medicine-man

No man is bulletproof - he's gonna drug you down



He thought that he could fly

That he could reach the sky

But he went up too high - oh, so high

He kissed the ground - goodbye



He wasn't bulletproof - shot himself the final round

No man is bulletproof - destination underground

Bulletproof - the chief is your medicine-man

No man is bulletproof - he's gonna drug you down
