Lyrics

[Verse 1] Shaman came a calling, he was howling at the moon He offered me a vision on the end of a silver spoon He said he'd give me dreams, that all were in his powers If only I would follow him, the universe was ours [Verse 2] Walked a thin white line to the coffin club, downstairs from the devils den Had a large double Jesus chased down with a shot of Zen The last thing I remember was lying in the tank And when I came around again, everything was blank [Chorus 1] Floating high above the world Out on the astral plane I'm bouncing like a pinball He's busy being born again [Verse 3] I met God on Primrose Hill, that's where he came to me He stepped out of his saucer and I got down on my knees From his lips came just one word, he left me all aglow I sat down and had a smoke and watched the flowers grow [Chorus 2] The bats are in the belfry And the bubbles in the bong The secret of the universe Is hidden in this song [Refrain] La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la [Verse 4] The shaman left a crawling as the dawn broke the gloom Talking in some other tongue and laughing like a loon The early morning sunlight splashed colours on the wall And I don't know if it ever really happened at all [Chorus 3] The bats are in the belfry And the bubbles in the bong The molecules inside my head Are chiming like a gong [Chorus 2] The bats are in the belfry And the bubbles in the bong The secret of the universe Is hidden in this song [Refrain] La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
