lyrics

I was sold the other day, on a lie that I’m holy
And slowly I’m a-gettin’ high

If you could follow me to heaven, would you try without knowing
If I was sewing up a lie like a suit around my shoulders

I want you to go where your heart leads, just be sure to trace it to mine
Do as I say and we’re gonna be fine

Remember when yer folks said back when, “do what the ministers say
Cause them boys are seein straight, and someday you gonna die”

But if you’re holding such a life in the palm of your precious shaking hand
You could hammer it on in or offer it to them

But they say,
I want you to go where your heart leads, just be sure to trace it to mine
Do as I say and we’re gonna be fine

Cause there’s a hardwired part of me
I got a lotta years ahead of me
I can see where it’s going, I can see where it leads
I got a guardian devil I consider on the level
Saying do as I say and we’re gonna be free

I was sold the other day, on a lie that I’m holy
And slowly I’m gettin mighty high
