Sanpaku Lyrics


Well I used to smoke the vine
and I used to chop the twine
every morning wake up fine
wake up red eyed from the wine
Then a bird taught me to sing
and I met the lotus king
and my residence was through
in the land of Sanpaku (X'S 2)
Sanpaku, Sanpaku, Sanpaku
in the land of Sanpaku
I chewed the root until my brain was fried
I can't remember all the highs I tried
I always crashed no matter where I flew
sinking in the quick sands of Sanpaku (x'S 2)

Then a brown eyed woman took me by the hand
she said "mercy me you've got to understand,
this poisoned life will be the death of you",
she led me from the jungles of Sanpaku
she led me from the jungles of Sanpaku
Sanpaku, Sanpaku, Sanpaku
In the land of Sanpaku
