Higher Learning
I found myself on the road to confusion A dull mind and a weak constitution I gave a ride to a medicine man He had a gla*s eye white light in his hands Now I wanna run through the green green gra*s Shine a light on the shadows of the past I wanna feel like a Siamese twin Ma*s appeal with a solitude spin Oh now, oh now he stopped my world turnin' Oh now, oh now this is a higher learnin' Listen Oh, and I bet that you don't even think about it Do you now boy? When they tell us that we couldn't live without it We climbed up to the mountain snow And in the valley we was laid so low But we will rise like the Phoenix from the ashes We will rise like the Phoenix from the ashes Oh now, oh now this is a higher learnin' Oh now, oh now my eyes are burnin' Come to the light, come to the light (Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man) Come to the light, come to the light (Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man) Time is a slippery fish now Time is a slippery fish now Drink deep, let your memory slip down Time is a slippery fish now (Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man) He says we're livin' underground We've been asleep in a memory dreamin' The spell was broken by the sound The cut is deep but the wound is healin' And we will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes We will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes We will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes We will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes I will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes He says he speaks to the monsoon rain Drink deep and you'll feel no pain I came to on a desolate avenue My legs are weak but my mind full of fortitude Oh now, oh now he stopped my world turnin' Oh now, oh now my eyes are burnin' Come to the light, come to the light (Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man) Come to the light, come to the light (Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man) Time is a slippery fish now Time is a slippery fish now Drink deep, let your memory slip down Time is a slippery fish now (Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man) Yea yea yea yea yea yea yea Yea yea yea yea yea yea c'mon Yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea
