I found myself on the road to Confusion

A dull mind and a weak constitution

I gave a ride to a medicine man

He had a glass eye and white light in his hand

Now, I wanna run through the green green grass

Shine a light on the shadow of the past

I wanna feel like a Siamese twin

Mass appeal with a solitude spin



Oh now oh now he stopped my world turning

Oh now oh now this is a higher learning



He said

Oh and I bet that you don't even think about it

Do you now boy?

When they tell us that we couldn't live without it



We climbed up to the mountain snow

And in the valley we was laid so low

But we will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes

We will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes



Oh now Oh now this is a higher learning

Oh now Oh now my eyes are burning

Come to the light! Come to the light!

Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man



Time is a slippery fish now

Drink deep let your memory slip down



He says we're living underground,

We've been asleep in a memory, dreaming

The spell was broken by the sound

The cut is deep but the wound is healing



And we will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes

We will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes

We will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes

We will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes

I will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes



He says he speaks to the monsoon rain

Drink deep and you'll feel no pain

I came to on a desolate avenue

My legs were weak but my mind full of fortitude
