Under a tree where I lay with my lies,
something or someone bestowed a surprise,
telling me I had no use for my eyes
if I really wanted to see.
Walking me tall like a priest with no pope,
no one in lab coats and no one with dope,
nobody dangling some flimsy old hope,
nothing to do but to be.
All my baggage sent on ahead,
gentleman style,
all I remember,
people who smile.
Holding the world in the palm of my hand,
feeling my pulse like a bass in a band,
welcoming chaos I can't understand.
Hey,
I'm an experiment.
Hey,
I'm an experiment.
Hey,
I'm an experiment.
A most willing subject am I.
Now the abyss seems to have its allure,
no ground to stand on and nothing secure.
Why should a monkey like me feel so pure,
kissing tomorrow goodbye?
Far from the comfort of all my despair,
every wrong thought is a wisp in the air.
I try to worry but nothing is there.
I throw up my hands and I cry.
All I wanted falls at my feet,
holy and bright.
All I remember is what I did right.
Holding the world in the palm of my hand,
feeling my pulse like a bass in a band,
finding amazement wherever I land.
Hey,
I'm an experiment.
Hey,
I'm an experiment.
Hey,
I'm an experiment.
Be an experiment.
Hey,
I'm an experiment.
Hey,
I'm an experiment.
Hey,
I'm an experiment.
Find your experiment.
I'm an experiment.
I'm an experiment.
You
