The statue got me high | |
The statue got me high | |
The 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 turned 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 towers 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 you high |
