Namaste Lyrics - Check Your Head - Beastie Boys

Yeah 

A butterfly floats on the breeze of a sun lit day 

As I feel this reality gently fade away 

Riding on a thought to see where it's from 

Gliding through a memory of a time yet to come 

Smoke paints the air 

Swirling images through my mind 

Like a whirlpool spin beginning to unwind 

And I stand at the edge cautiously awaiting 

As time slips by 

Carefully navigating by the stars in the sky 

And I sit, and I think to myself 

And on the horizon, the sun light begins to climb 

And it seems like it's been so long since he shined 

But I'm sure it was only yesterday 

A cold chill of fear cut through me 

I felt my heart contract 

To my mind I brought the image of light 

And I expanded out of it 

My fear was just a shadow 

And then a voice spoke in my head 

And she said, dark is not the opposite of light 

It's the absence of light 

And I thought to myself 

She knows what she's talking about 

And for a moment I knew what it was all about
