The Philosopher Stoner

verse 1

This song is about a stoner dude that I once knew.
Maybe he was me, and maybe he was you.
He went to a party where he just didn’t belong.
And with a bunch of anxiety, he hit the bong…

verse 1

Brother, watch your own stone.
Keep the lighter right by the bong.
Do this, my friend, and you will never go wrong.

verse 2

The Philosopher’s curse
hurts worst than what’s first.
When the lady in the river comes
up to the water’s edge.

bridge 1

And you’re on that ledge.
And words do break bones,
then the fish eat stones.
Intersections of conception,
but everyone is still alone.

chorus 1

Your pain is our amusement.
Your hesitation is confusing.
Have you ever felt the bee sting
way, way down in your heart?

verse 3

We’re coming apart,
but that’s okay.
It’s what comes back that matters
even dressed in tatters.

verse 4

Regrets are an illusion.
Something we can cling on.
Captain Kirk and Papa Smurf,
we never saw your tampons.

verse 5

Come and get your rampon.
we’re going hiking in the canyon.
Going down to the water,
gonna see what my daddy saw.

bridge 2

Gonna bust my head wide open.
And words do break bones,
then the fish eat stones.
Intersections of conception,
but everyone is still alone.

chorus 2

Your pain is our amusement.
Your hesitation is confusing.
Have you ever felt the bee sting
way, way down in your heart?

final verse

Coffin. I feel like I’m lying in a coffin.
No, man, I’m just coughing from the bong
I’m so goddammed stoned
I need to lay down a while.

coda

Still I got style
forever.
