Bhagavan Decreed Songtext
von The Flatlanders

Trains cannot defeat me when I′m stoned, little darlin'
Sticks and stones can beat you out of time
And I′m standin' on the brink of a bridge that's black at sunrise
I don′t think I′ll be home in time to dine

Each plant has a root that's tipped in blood
So later on we′ll all find out we're just nameless mud
And I′m sayin' goodbye to those old-time demons, darlin′
Leave at your own risk, not mine


Why can't you make it to the place you're always goin′ to?
Could it be you′re goin' to all the time?
Well, I might be travelin′ backwards when I wake up tomorrow
If you must go, won't you please leave me a dime?

The earth turns on as Bhagavan decreed
So later on we′ll see ourselves and all be free
But sayin' goodbye to you is suicidal, darlin′
Don't hang your mind up just where I hang mine

Life is a quarry you can dig all you want to
Rock and jump and ball, go up or down
And you can burn your brain cells out just tryin' to get higher
But you′ll find the highest place is underground


They′ve got you like the moon has got the tide
You say you're trippin′, babe, you're goin′ for a ride
You say one day soon we will all stand as brothers
'Til then I guess we′ll just stand around
