about

After a three hour greyhound ride, our hero finds himself alone on the grimy streets of New York city... The busy people scurrying along seem less than interested in being helpful to his cause... Until....

lyrics

City of apathy

Far away in an unfamiliar place
in my head, visions of your face
I won't let down this task before me
I've come to find salvation

I spotted a guy hawking newports
Do you have what I need?
What are you looking for?
Get lost or I'll kill your sorry ass white boy
people can be so cold

the air is cold
the strangers walk along grey stained concrete
stepping over the homeless
no one seems to care
then in the distance just beyond the projects

I know what you want
you've come to the wrong place
your salvation lies just beyond that train station
get on the 2 head to the bronx
you'll find some dominicans there
they've got what you're looking for

Set a course northeast of brooklyn
deep underground and sea
I really wish this weirdo would stop drooling on me
headed for the heart of the jungle
head first into mystery

Do you have what I need? Someone answer me!!
I always gots what you needs. Weed.
So into my sack, so many little sacks
this is some heavy shit, take heed
I appreciate the concern, but I'll just take one quick hit and be on my way...
HOMIE !!! BE CAREFUL WITH THOSE TREES !
Don't worry, I'm a professional.
I've been smoking since before I was born.

Herb of the gods

And a hazy mist consumed me
I choked and could not breathe
then surrounding me were colors
and the stars began to speak
I listened with my ears and soul
I dove into a big black hole
time had stopped
the world disappeared

and the gods spoke unto me:

Now everything is in it's right place, except that now you must learn to see
We will give you ancient wisdom, we will help to set your mind free
Buckle up this is going to be a hell of a ride
Can you handle your destiny?
Do you know what you really are?...

I am you and you are me, and all is one and one is we.
