The Statue Got Me High

The statue got me high, the statue got me high

A monument of granite sent a beam into my eye

The statue made me die, the statue made me die

It took my hand it killed me and it threw me to the skyThe stone, it called to me

And now I see the things the stone has shown to me

A rock that spoke a word

An animated mineral it can be heardAnd though I once preferred a human being's company

They pale before the monolith that tower's over meThe statue got me high, the statue got me high

The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie

The statue made me fry, the statue made me fry

My coat contained a furnace, where there used to be a guyThe stone, it called to me

And now I see the things the stone has shown to me

A rock that spoke a word

An animated mineral it can be heardAnd as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air

The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chairAnd what they found was just a statue

Standing where the statue got me high

And what they found was just a statue

Standing where the statue got me highAnd now it is your turn

Your turn to hear the stone and then your turn to burn

The stone, it calls to you

You can't refuse to do the things it tells you toAnd as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air

The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chairAnd what they found was just a statue

Standing where the statue got me high

And what they'll find is just a statue

Standing where the statue got me high
