Slip Inside This House Songtext
von 13th Floor Elevators

There are worms in tribes ascending
From the egg into the flower
Alpha information descending
States within the heaven shower
Worm disciples, the unending
Subtleties of mental power
They slip inside this house as they pass by

If your limbs begin dissolving
In the water that you tread
All surroundings are evolving
In the stream that clears your head
Find yourself a caravan
Like Noah must have led

And slip inside this house as you pass by

Slip inside this house as you pass by

True conception, knowing why
Brings even more than meets the eye
Slip inside this house as you pass by


In this dark we call creation
We can be and feel and know
From an effervescent conversation
That′s alive beyond the goal
There's infinite survival in
The hive that tickles slow

Just slip inside this house as you pass by

There is no season when you are grown
You are always risen from the seeds you′ve sown
There is no reason to rise alone
Other stories given have sages of their own
Live where your heart can be given
And your life starts to unfold
In the forms you envision
In this dream that's ages old

On the river there is the only fair
You receive all you can hold
Like you've been told

Every day′s another dawning
Give the morning wind a chance
Always catch your thunder yawning
Lift your mind into their dance
See the shadows from your awning
Shake the bolt for the serpent′s stance
That lies outside this house, don't pass it by


Fire worlds that you uncover
Light the path you want to roam
You compare there and discover
You won′t need a shell of bone
Twice born gypsies care and keep
The nowhere of their former home

They slip inside this house as they pass by

Slip inside this house as you pass by
You think you can't, you wish you could
I know you can, I wish you would
Slip inside this house as you pass by

Four and twenty burns of Maya
Baked into an atom you
Polarized into existence
Magnet heart from red to blue
To such extent the realm of dark
In the picture it seems the truth

Slip inside this house and then decide

All your lightning waits inside you
Travel it along your spine
Seven stars receive your visit
Seven fields remain behind
Seven churches filled with spirit
Treasure from the angel mind

Just slip inside this house as you pass by

Slip inside this house as you pass by

Of course, the center of this high never dies
There is no season when you are alone
You are always risen from the seeds you′ve sown
There is no reason to rise alone
Other stories given have sages of their own

Drawn from the mouth of unchanging
And its union nourishes on
In the right rearranging
'Til the last confusion is gone

What if brothers trust in the ultimate
Of the always singing song they pass along?

One-eyed men aren′t really raining
They just march in place until
Two-eyed men with mystery training
Finally feel the power to build
Three-eyed men are not complaining
They can yodel where they will
They're slipping by the sounds I leave half-fried
