The Statue Got Me High Lyrics - Apollo 18 - They Might Be Giants

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 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 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
