Third Eye - Intellectual

[Intro: Bill Hicks]

"See, I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor - go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CDs and burn 'em. 'Cause you know what? The musicians who've made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years... real fucking high on drugs."

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."

"It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom, that's what it is, okay? Keep that in mind at all times, thank you."

[Verse 1]

Dreaming of that face again

It's bright and blue and shimmering

Grinning wide

And comforting me with its three warm and wild eyes

[Verse 2]

On my back and tumbling

Down that hole and back again (And back again)

Rising up

And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye

[Refrain]

In, out, in, out, in, out

[Verse 3]

A child's rhyme stuck in my head

It said that life is but a dream

I've spent so many years in question

To find I've known this all along

[Chorus]

So good to see you

I've missed you so much

So glad it's over

I've missed you so much

Came out to watch you play

Why are you running away?

Came out to watch you play

Why are you running?

[Verse 4]

Shrouding all the ground around me

Is this holy crow above me

Black as holes within a memory

And blue as our new second sun

I stick my hand into the shadow

To pull the pieces from the sand

Which I attempt to reassemble

To see just who I might have been

I do not recognize the vessel

But the eyes seem so familiar

Like phosphorescent desert buttons

Singing one familiar song

[Chorus]

So good to see you

I've missed you so much

So glad it's over

I've missed you so much

Came out to watch you play

Why are you running away?

Came out to watch you play

Why are you running away?

[Refrain]

Prying open my third eye

[Chorus]

So good to see you once again

I thought that you were hiding

And you thought that I had run away

Chasing the tail of dogma

[Refrain]

I opened my eye, I opened my eye

I opened my eye and there we were

I opened my eye, I opened my eye

I opened my eye and there we were

[Chorus]

So good to see you once again

I thought that you were hiding from me

And you thought that I had run away

Chasing a trail of smoke and reason

[Outro]

Prying open my third eye
