Well you've been to all the seminars
and you've still driving that crappy car
And all you've got's a drawer full of old T-shirts
Still your waking dreams
Make you want to scream
But I'm telling you no matter how bad it seems
You're almost Home, almost Home
Don't care how far you think that you are
You're almost Home
You've been meditating
For ten years
And still your mind is never clear
And all you've got's a bunch of flattered cushions
Do you think you've nuts
Just sitting on your butt
Well that may be true but I'll tell you what
You're almost home
Don't care how far you think that you are
You're almost home.
It's hard to believe
But we never leave
The heaven in our prayers
We only sleep while our father keeps us in his loving care.
So you thought that you were anger free
But you just screamed an obscenity
At some guy who cut you off in traffic
Then your mind will say
You're in hell to stay
But I'm telling you that it isn't that way
Your almost Home almost Home
Don't care how far you think that you are
You're almost Home.
I have a dreaming Problem
Though I know it's very common
When I wake up from a bad dream
I still see things that make me wanna scream
I have a dreaming problem
I have a dreaming problem
Worse than horror movie goblins
When I wake up from a nightmare
I still see things I wish weren't there
I have a dreaming problem
Dreaming in my bed
I saw the living dead
On people's parts they fed
Like it was Wonder bread
Woke up all full of dread
And watched TV in bed
Is that Dawn of the Dead?
No it's Andy Roony's head.
I have a dreaming problem
It just keeps my head a throbbin'
This is reality it seems
But I think that it's just a distant dream
I have a dreaming problem
I dreamed that I was trapped
In a deep and dark mine shaft
So tight I couldn't scratch
And I didn't have a match.
I woke and still felt trapped
Inside a mortal scrap of bones and blood and fat
But it sure felt good to scratch.
I have dreaming problem
And it's not showing sign of stopping
I know every work of "What the Bleep"
but still I'm walking round like I'm half asleep.
And I followed all the big guru's
But still I walk around like I been sniffin glue
Maybe I'll move into a Starbucks and drink enough coffee to wake me up.
I have a dreaming problem.
Well there's wrinkles on my forehead funny lines on my chin.
Ane my hair has turned to silver and it's starting to thin
If I were a body I'd be really bummed out
But that's not what my life is about.
There's a pain in my left shoulder
There's pain in my knee
There's a busted rusty sieve
Where my brain used to be
If I were a body I'd be really bummed out
But that'not what my life is about
And I'm coming to suspect
Oh, no! I am not my intellect
If I'm not my body
And I'm not my smarts
Maybe I'm what's inside my heart
So my body's only doing
What my body does
Which makes me really glad
I'm created from love
Yeah, I'm not body, there is no doubt
Cause love is what my life is about.
When I am pure
Enlightened and cured
I will behold the light inside your soul
When I can part
These clouds with my heart
I'll see the sun
That shines inside everyone
But right now here I am
In this Goddam traffic jam
and the people all around me drive like jerks
There's an accident ahead
and someone better be dead
Cause it's making me a
half hour late for work
I meditate
Three hours straight
Blister my buns
Trying to end this illusion
Cause I want to see
The light that's in thee
Walk in the sun
See how we all are one
But right now on this plane
I stare bullets through the brain
Of the woman holding up the checkout line
She is writing out a check
And I'd like to wring her neck
Go ahead you bitch just take your sweet old time.
No meat on my dish
Well, maybe some fish
I eat lotsa' beans
That keeps my temple real clean
Cause I wanna stay
In the holy way
Til' I can see the God
that's Inside you and me
But right now all I see
Is this guy ahead of me
Who can't figure out which donut he should get
He keeps staring through the glass
And I want to kick his ass
So I guess that I'm not quite enlightened yet
Yeah, I guess that I'm not quite enlightened yet
