Turtles All The Way Down
Sturgill Simpson
I've seen Jesus play with flames in a lake of fire that I was standing in
Met the devil in Seattle and spent nine months inside the lion's den
Met Buddha yet another time and he showed me a glowing light within
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 and someday you're gonna wake up old and grey
Go and try and have some fun showing warmth to everyone
You meet and greet and cheat along the way"
There's a gateway in our mind 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
Some say you might go crazy but then again, it might make you go sane
Every time I take a look 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
But love's the only thing that saved my life
So don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes
Or 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 call space and time
