No one knows where the ladder goes 

　　You're gonna lose what you love the most 

　　You're not alone in anything 

　　You're not unique in dying 

　　 

　　I feel estranged every now and then 

　　Fall asleep reading science fiction 

　　I want to fly in your silver ship 

　　Let Jesus hang and Buddha sit 

　　 

　　It's on now 

　　The days are long now 

　　The ups and the sundowns 

　　And a twisting mind 

　　 

　　If I got to go first 

　　I'll do it on my terms 

　　I'm tired of traitors 

　　Always changing sides 

　　They were friends of mine 

　　 

　　Don't hang around once the promise breaks 

　　Or you'll be there when the next one's made 

　　Kiss the feet of a charlatan 

　　Some imagined freedom 

　　 

　　All the rest is predictable 

　　You can say you're the first to know 

　　Bought a mantra to concentrate 

　　Car alarm or hissing snake 

　　 

　　I know now 

　　How its gonna turn out 

　　You've got to calm down 

　　Or I'll lose my place 

　　 

　　Got to get to the center 

　　Got to get to the concert 

　　Run off with a dancer 

　　Gonna celebrate 

　　 

　　We'll welcome the New Age 

　　Covered in warrior paint 

　　Lights from the jungle to the sky 

　　See now a star is born 

　　Looks just like a blood orange 

　　Don't it just make you want to cry? 

　　Precious friend of mine 

　　 

　　Will I know when it's finally done? 

　　This whole life is a hallucination 

　　You're not alone in anything 

　　You're not alone in trying to be
