Well I've been
in search of stones
making up
the pavement
of Iess-travelled roads
Mining for treasure
deep in my bones
that I'll never find
I went looking
for reverence
tried to find it in a bottle
and came back again
High on a hash pipe
of good intent
but it only
brought me down
Tried institutions
of the mind and soul
It only taught me
what I should not know
Oh and the answer
well who would
have guessed
Could be something
as simple as this
Something as simple
as this
Travelled to each
ocean's end
saw all seven wonders
tried to make some sense
Memorised the mantra
Confucius said
but it only let me down
Tried absolution
of the mind and soul
It only led me
where I should not go
Oh and the answer
well how could I miss
Could be something
as simple as this
Something as simple
as this
I've been falling
crashing, breaking
all the while
you stood here waiting
for me girl
Tried liberation
of my own free will
but it left me looking
to get higher still
Oh and the answer
well who would
have guessed
Could be something
as simple as this
God knows how
I could have missed
Something as simple
as this
