lyrics

Thinking about what Lao Tzu said
I try to heal my heavy head
You only want a deeper man
So you can feel him good as sin

The sage's sickness is feeling sick
Her world is but a magic trick
Perhaps it's petty still to think
Your well of pain's too deep to drink

Your well of pain's too deep to drink
And I am barely listening
So speak up now, and don't be shy
You who echo in eternity

That $2 tambourine, the $2 tambrouine
It used to light up for me
In that country bar in Alphabet City x 2

And when I was a child of Qi
Yeah, when I was a child of Qi
I owned every word that came from me
Like "How do you do" and "Dang, you look pretty"
But that $2 tambourine, the $2 tambourine
It used to light up for me
When I bought it on the ecstasy

Thinking about what Lao Tzu said
I try to heal my heavy head
You only want a deeper man
So you can feel him good as sin
