Sanpaku Full Lyrics

Well I used to smoke the vine And I used to chop the twine Every morning wake up fine Wake up red eyed from the wine Then a bird taught me to sing And I met the lotus king And my residence was through In the land of Sanpaku In the land of Sanpaku Sanpaku, Sanpaku, Sanpaku In the land of Sanpaku I chewed the root until my brain was fried I can't remember all the highs I tried I always crashed no matter where I flew Sinking in the quick sands of Sanpaku Sinking in the quick sands of Sanpaku Then a brown eyed woman took me by the hand She said "mercy me you've got to understand, This poisoned life will be the death of you", She led me from the jungles of Sanpaku She led me from the jungles of Sanpaku
