"Fear Is The Mind Killer" lyrics
"Fear Is The Mind Killer"
(originally by 高中正義 (Masayoshi Takanaka))
How was I supposed to know
That my stone was gonna roll away
Down in the valley
How was I supposed to see
All the fishes in the sea
Swimmed on without me
I was just a little stone
At the bottom of the sea
The waves are crashing over me
How am I supposed to keep all of my sheep
When the hill's so steep
How was I supposed to know
That my soul was gonna roll way down in the valley
To the ocean
Floatin' along with the strangest notion, ah-ah
Take off my old clothes
And never put 'em back on
Fear is the mind
Is the mind killer
Leaves you with nowhere to run to
Plants the seed of hate within you
Fear, fear
How was I supposed to know
I was gonna fall in love with 'ole Takanaka
Mowin' my lawn on a Sunday
Praying for the daisy's forgiveness
And the rain to come on to the ocean
How's the surf down there in Japan, good man?
Is it open?
I wanna be specifically Pacific
But I'm Arkansan
You know I must
I gotta trust
This lust
For the ocean
Pick it
Fear is the mind
Is the mind killer
Leaves you with nowhere to run to
Plants the seed of hate within you
Fear, fear
How was I supposed to know
That my soul was gonna grow into a big soul flower
The only thing I'd ever need was a big hot sun
And the occasional shower
How was I supposed to know
That my stone was gonna roll away
Down in the valley
How was I supposed to see
All the fishes in the sea
Swimmed on without me
To the ocean
Floatin' along with the strangest notion
Fear is the mind
Is the mind killer
Killer, killer
The real deal-a
Fear
Fear is the mind
Is the mind killer
Leaves you with nowhere to run to
Plants the seed of hate within you
Fear, fear
