lyrics

Jai guru, though it sure did appear
you had one good truth and the rest was your career.
Just breathe as I dispense a microdot of
consciousness.
There’s so much more I would know.
Jai guru for the herb and the brew.
When you got over yourself, I got over you too.
It felt dirty to me, like cheating on the GRE.
How was it for you?
Jai guru, how’d I do on the test?
I swear the dharma was pure when I smuggled it west,
but they scour the depths, turning love to ego and sex.
Jai guru, when I woke from the dream
I found washing your dress with a rock in a stream.
I loved you there and then, so chemically and
genuine.
Maya, Maya you’re all to me, all my A.D.D.
and my monkey mind can see.
Maya, Maya your light is gone, and you can’t go on
loving everyone.
