I'm siphoning gass from the high school bus
   Into the tank of my beat-up bug
   So I can drive away from the shouting and misery
   I drive into the night, to the hill, to the water tower
   To lie on my back and drink in the meteor shower
   Knowing that many men have lain as i do now
   Ptolemy,Copernicus,Carl Jung
   Pondering his existence,pondering,
   Is God with me now?
  
   And I look to the sky
   And I ask these questions
   Yes,I feel something I don't understand
   Can somebody say Amen?
  
   My life is but a short and precious seed
   Like three seasons of life in a leaf on a tree
   And when I cascade to the ground I will not be done
   I will mingle with the earth and give life
   To the roots again
  
   Can somebody say Amen?
  
   And I look to the sky
   And I ask these questions
   Yes, I feel something I don't understand
   Can somebody say Amen?
   Amen for the drivers in their garbage trucks
   Amen for our mothers,for the lust to fuck
   Amen for the child with innocent eyes
   Amen for Kevorkian and the right to die
   Amen for NASA,The NSA
   It's all a front anyway
   Amen for Marilyn Manson,Saddam Hussein
   Amen for America and the Milky Way.
   Amen for Elvis,for Betty Page
   Amen for Gloria Steinham and Ronald Reagan
   Amen for O.J.,Clinton too
   Amen for the Republican witch hunt coup
   Amen for Gandhi,for Malcolm X
   Amen for the uprising of the weaker sex
   Amen for Babylon, the third world's call,
   Amen for the unity of us all
   Amen,Amen,Amen
  
   And I am not unique.
   We are all leave on this great big tree.
   this tree that is life,that is God,that is you,that is me
   And I lie under my tree like the Buddhas before and after me
   And I ask the stars, "What for?"
   Yes, I feel something I can't explain
   A light that flickers off and on again
   And I look to the sky
   And I ask these questions
   Yes, I feel something I don't understand
   Oh,can somebody say Amen?
