Third Eye

See I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor; go home tonight, take all albums, all your tapes, and all your cd's, and burn 'em. Because you know what? The musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years... real fucking high on drugs.

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.

It's not a war of drugs, it's a war on personal freedom is what it is, okay? Keep that in mind at all times, thank you.

Dreaming of that face again It's bright and blue and shimmering Grinning wide and comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes

On my back and tumbling Down that hole and back again, back again Rising up and wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye

Eye (x4) ('Why' has been performed live)

In, out (x35) In

A child's rhyme stuck in my head See that life is but a dream I spent so many years of questioning To find I've known this all along

So good to see you, I missed you so much So glad it's over, I missed you so much Came out to watch you play, why are you running away? Came out to watch you play, why are you running?

Now

Shrouding all of the ground around me Is this holy crow above me Black as holes within a memory And blue as our new second sun? I stick my hand into the shadow To pull the pieces from the sand Which I attempt to reassemble See just who I might have been I do not recognize the vessel But the eyes seem so familiar Like phosphorescent desert buttons Singing one familiar song

So good to see you, I missed you so much So glad it's over, I missed you so much Came out to watch you play, why are you running away? Came out to watch you play, why are you running away?

Prying open my third eye (x4)

So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding You thought that I had run away Chasing the tail of dogma

I opened my eye (x3) And there we were I opened my eye (x3) And there we were

(alternate lyrics have been performed live)

I opened my eye You opened my eye It opened my eye And there we were

I opened my eye It opened my eye You opened my eye There we were

So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding from me And you thought that I had run away Chasing the trail of smoke and reason

I opened my eye and there we were

Prying open my third eye (x10)
