No one knows where the ladder goes
You´re going to lose what you love the most
You´re not alone in anything
You´re not unique in dying
Feel a strange day every now and then
Fall asleep reading science fiction
I want to fly in your silver ship
Let Jesus hang and Buddha sit
It´s on now
The days are long now
The ups and the sundowns
And a twisting mind
If I got to go first
I´ll do it on my terms
I´m tired of traitors always changing sides
They were friends of mine

Don´t hang around as the promise breaks
You´ll be there when the next one´s made
Kiss the feet of a charlatan
Some imagined freedom
All the rest is predictable
You can say you´re the first to know
Bought a mantra to concentrate
Car alarm or hissing snake
I know now
Oh, it´s going to turn now
You got to calm down
Or I´ll lose my place
Got to get to the center
Got to get to the concert
Run off with a dancer
Going to celebrate

Welcome the new age
Covered in warrior paint
Lights from the jungle to the sky
See now, a star´s born
Looks just like a blood orange
Don´t it just make you want to cry
Precious friend of mine?

Well, I know when it´s finally done
This whole life´s a hallucination
You´re not alone in anything
You´re not alone in trying
To be
