Bhagavan Decreed Lyrics - Odessa Tapes - Flatlanders

(Ed Vizard) 

Trains cannot defeat me when I'm stoned little darling 

Sticks and stones can beat you out of time 

And I'm standing on the brink of a bridge that's black at sunrise 

I don't think I'll be home in time to dine 

Each plant has a root that's dipped in blood 

So later on we'll all find out we're just nameless mud 

And I'm sayin' good bye to those old-time demons darling 

Leave at your own risk, not mine 

Why can't you make it to the place you're always going to 

Could it be you're going to all the time 

Well I might be traveling backwards when I wake up tomorrow 

If you must go won't you please leave me a dime 

The earth turns on a Bhagavan decree 

So later on we'll see ourselves and all be free 

But sayin' goodbye to you is suicidal darling 

Don't hang your mind up just where I hang mine 

Life is a quarry you can dig all you want too 

Rock and jump and ball go up or down 

And you can burn your brain cells out just trying to get higher 

But you'll find my highest place is underground 

They've got you like the moon has got the tide 

You say your tripping babe you're going for a ride 

You say one day soon we will all stand as brothers 

Till then I guess we'll just stand around
