[00:00.00]Turtles All The Way Down - Sturgill Simpson
[00:12.46]I've seen Jesus play with flames in a lake of fire
[00:16.94]That I was standing in
[00:23.16]Met the devil in Seattle and spent 9 months inside the lions den
[00:33.85]Met Buddha yet another time and he showed me a glowing light within
[00:44.78]But I swear that god is there every time
[00:47.59]I glare in the eyes of my best friend
[00:55.24]Says my son it's all been done and someday yer
[00:58.83]Gonna wake up old and gray
[01:05.73]So go and try to have some fun showing warmth to everyone
[01:10.78]You meet and greet and cheat along the way
[01:18.50]There's a gateway in our mind that leads somewhere out there
[01:22.78]Far beyond this plane
[01:29.04]Where reptile aliens made of light cut you open and pull out all your pain
[01:39.53]Tell me how you make illegal something that we all make in our brain
[01:49.93]Some say you might go crazy but then again it might make you go sane
[02:00.65]Every time I take a look inside old and fabled book
[02:05.97]I'm blinded and reminded of the pain caused by some old man in the sky
[02:16.69]M*******a LSD psilocybin and dmt they all changed the way I see
[02:24.32]But love's the only thing that ever saved my life
[02:32.02]So don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes
[02:34.63]Or fairy tales of blood and wine
[02:37.16]It's turtles all the way down the line
[02:42.39]So to each their own til' we go home
[02:44.72]To other realms our souls must roam
[02:47.63]To and through the myth that we all call space and time
