lyrics

There was a cold, wind that night, I'll always remember that moon was a fool casting clouded light.
We left the dead, alone to speak, their legs buckled under them and their jaws grew weak.
I passed the flame, on down the line, there was a rush and a fuss and a finger going down my spine,
And, now I know, what it's like, to feel my heart in my chest say goodbye suddenly take flight.

Let me holster my AK47, pack away my Blueberry G-13,
It's not the Death Star in my hand, and I'm not no Skywalker of weed.
I'm no White Widow in the dark, and I sure ain't no Night Terror,
I'm just a regular OG Kush, oh, not unlike Jack Herer.
Maui Waui, get me off this Train Wreck, I ain't dealing no Durban Poison,
So my train runs on Blue Diesel, Pineapple Express me to your prison.
Is this all just a Blue Dream? When will I see my Northern Lights?
Get me out of this Purple Haze, and give me back my god damn rights.

"So tell me, sir, what brings you here tonight? Does it matter, that we don't even wanna start a fight?"
And you said, "No, it doesn't matter much," but still we ended that night in the back of your pretty blue bus.
"But listen, sir, I wouldn't hurt a fly, I'm just toking on some rolled up herb trying to get a little high."
And you said, "Son, bite back that tongue, before I show you what happens to those who say I'm wrong."

The spark came first, up to my lips, and all at once every ailment was finally fixed,
And when I sleep, this very night, my mind, my body, my soul will feel just right.
