higher learning

i found myself on the road to confusion, a dull mind and a weak constitution, i gave a ride to a medicine man, he had a glass eye and white light in his hand, now, i wanna run through the green green grass, shine a light on the shadows of the past, i wanna feel like a siamese twin, mass appeal with a solitude spin, oh now oh now he stopped my world turning, oh now oh now this is a higher learning, oh and i bet that you don't even think about it, do you now boy?, when they tell us that we couldn't live without it, climbed up to the mountain snow, and in the valley we was laid so low, we will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, oh now oh now this is a higher learning, oh now oh now my eyes are burning, come to the light! come to the light!, put your mind in the hands of the medicine man, time is a slippery fish now, drink deep let your memory slip down, he says were living underground, we've been asleep in a memory, dreaming, the spell was broken by the sound, the cut is deep but the wound is healing, we will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, i will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, he says he speaks to the monsoon rain, drink deep and you'll feel no pain, i came to on a desolate avenue, my legs were weak but my mind full of fortitude,
