Spirit in the sky
Transparent to the eye
Talking trash on nothing I can see anyway
And it's anarchy for you and me
When all this work is [?]
There was a time in my life when they thought I was all talk
Now I'm feeling stalked by god walking
I got the other hint
Walking
Now take a look at my hand
Watch me going, I'm going, yeah, I'm gone
Freaking fuck
Through the dew in the dawn
All the words I'm saying are wrong, now won't you watch me
There was a time in my life when they thought I was all talk
Left-handed smoke shifting
From my right hand man
Can you sense the snag in my playing?
Spirit in the ether
From a right wing sister
Sitter[?] say she don't care that much
There was a time in my life that is gone there's some time still go back to
Not to be all stalk in myself too much
Then I got the other hint, here, in present days
Now take a look at my hand
Watch it go, watch me go, yeah, I'm going
Yeah, I'm gone
Freaking-a-fuck
In the sea of the stone
Making music is easy - watch me
And you - there was a time in my life when they thought I was all [?]
