|
The statue got me high, the statue got me high |
|
A monument of granite sent a beam into my eye |
|
The statue made me die, the statue made me die |
|
It took my hand it killed me and it threw me to the sky |
|
The stone, it called to me |
|
And now I see the things the stone has shown to me |
|
A rock that spoke a word |
|
An animated mineral it can be heard |
|
And though I once preferred a human being's company |
|
They pale before the monolith that tower's over me |
|
The statue got me high, the statue got me high |
|
The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie |
|
The statue made me fry, the statue made me fry |
|
My coat contained a furnace, where there used to be a guy |
|
The stone, it called to me |
|
And now I see the things the stone has shown to me |
|
A rock that spoke a word |
|
An animated mineral it can be heard |
|
And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air |
|
The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chair |
|
And what they found was just a statue |
|
Standing where the statue got me high |
|
And what they found was just a statue |
|
Standing where the statue got me high |
|
And now it is your turn |
|
Your turn to hear the stone and then your turn to burn |
|
The stone, it calls to you |
|
You can't refuse to do the things it tells you to |
|
And as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air |
|
The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair |
|
And what they found was just a statue |
|
Standing where the statue got me high |
|
And what they'll find is just a statue |
|
Standing where the statue got me high |
