Ladder Song
No one knows where the ladder goesYou're gonna lose what you love the mostYou're not alone in anythingYou're not unique in dying
I feel estranged every now and thenFall asleep reading science fictionI want to fly in your silver shipLet Jesus hang and Buddha sit
It's on nowThe days are long nowThe ups and the sun downsAnd a twisting mind
If I gotta go firstI'll do it on my termsI'm tired of traitorsAlways changing sidesThey were friends of mine
Don't hang around once the promise breaksOr you'll be there when the next one's madeKiss the feet of a charlatanSome imagined freedom
All the rest is predictableYou can say you're the first to knowBought a mantra to concentrateCar alarm or hissing snake
I know nowHow it's gonna turn nowYou've got to calm downOr I'll lose my placeGot to get to the centerGot to get to the concertRun off with a dancerGonna celebrate
We'll welcome the new ageCovered in warrior paintLights from the jungle to the skySee now a star is bornLooks just like a blood orangeDon't it just make you want to cry?Precious friend of mine
Will I know when it's finally done?This whole life is a hallucinationYou're not alone in anythingYou're not alone in trying to be
