Higher Learning

Sam Roberts


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 
(chorus
