Sam Roberts - Higher Learning Lyrics
I found myself on the road to ConfusionA dull mind and a weak constitutionI gave a ride to a medicine manHe had a glass eye and white light in his handNow, I wanna run through the green green grassShine a light on the shadow of the pastI wanna feel like a Siamese twinMass appeal with a solitude spinOh now oh now he stopped my world turningOh now oh now this is a higher learningHe saidOh and I bet that you don't even think about itDo you now boy?When they tell us that we couldn't live without itWe climbed up to the mountain snowAnd in the valley we was laid so lowBut we will rise like a Phoenix from the ashesWe will rise like a Phoenix from the ashesOh now Oh now this is a higher learningOh now Oh now my eyes are burningCome to the light! Come to the light!Put your mind in the hands of the medicine manTime is a slippery fish nowDrink deep let your memory slip downHe says we're living underground,We've been asleep in a memory, dreamingThe spell was broken by the soundThe cut is deep but the wound is healingAnd we will rise like a Phoenix from the ashesWe will rise like a Phoenix from the ashesWe will rise like a Phoenix from the ashesWe will rise like a Phoenix from the ashesI will rise like a Phoenix from the ashesHe says he speaks to the monsoon rainDrink deep and you'll feel no painI came to on a desolate avenueMy legs were weak but my mind full of fortitude
