Introducing "Metamodern Sounds in Country Music"
I've seen Jesus play with flames in a lake of fire that I was standing in
ย
Met the devil in Seattle and spent 9 months inside the lions' den
Met Buddha yet another time
He showed me a glowing light within
ย
But I swear that God is there
Every time I glare into the eyes of my best friend
Says my son, it's all been done
Someday you're gonna wake up old and gray
ย
So go and try to have some fun showing warmth to everyone
You meet and greet and cheat along the way
There's a gateway in our minds
ย
That leads somewhere out there far beyond this plane
Where reptile aliens made of light cut you open and pull out all your pain
Tell me how you make illegal something that we all make in our brain
ย
Some say you might go crazy
Then again, it might make you go sane
ย
Every time I take a look inside inside that old and fabled book
I'm blinded and reminded of the pain caused by some old man in the sky
Marijuana, LSD, psilocybin, and DMT, they all changed the way I see
ย
Love's the only thing that ever saved my life
So don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes
And fairy tales of blood and wine
It's turtles all the way down the line
So to each their own 'til we go home
To other realms our souls must roam
To and through the myth that we all call space and time
ย
