Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Bass intro from ending of 'Unity' w/Fill 1
---> Play Intro (x4)
---> Play Riff 1 over:
Mother Nature supreme step back and dream
The hydroponic scene
Found around knocked out of bounds wound
Into the mind of my stone cloud
Taste the thinnest of oxygen
Rising higher, a stoner cause I can groove something
Wrecking nothing to prove see that's in my nature, so fresh
The vital bud of the chronic tastes of something thicker
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Everything I eat is from the Earth, right?
I am what I eat, straight up Earth, right?
Nothing but a walking sack of earth nice to meet you
How do you do, guess what, you're one too
My skin holds me in, my brain moves me then Boom
I jump straight off the speaker in a form
A celebration that we're moving
Freely disconnected, I'm truly grateful
I'm going back to the earth, I'm not gonna waste life being hateful
---> Play Pre-Chorus over:
Kingdom coming through ya
Kingdom coming through ya
---> Play Chorus over:
Jumpin' out of my skin, The skin I'm in
And the hydroponic's on
---> Play Chorus - End
---> Play Riff 1 over:
Did it because we wanna, took up until it's gone
An abstract notion here to connect me to the ocean
Cause I'm water and carbon and not much else
I feel compunction, Conjunction Junction what's your function
I'll be hooking up verbs and nouns and phrases and clause
As to the causes of misery quizically
I look to my own book hooked on trying to fathom
The solar systems and atom in a larger molecule
Called a galaxy, cool, the the Milky Way is where I stay
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Astronomy steppin' stompin' a pow wow
I rock the mike and shake up the ground, and I'm a bust out like
Wild dandelions in fat bloom
I'm shooting through the cosomos because you know I loom
You know I'm higher, I'm shining brighter, yes yes
Like where water comes together with other water foamin'
Now I'm homin' like a bird soaring right to the moon
I'm a wildflower busting out I go boom
---> Play Pre-Chorus over:
Kingdom coming through ya
Kingdom coming through ya
---> Play Chorus over:
Jumpin' out of my skin, The skin I'm in
And the hydroponic's on
---> Play Chorus and Fill 2 over:
Jumpin' out of my skin, The skin I'm in
And the hydroponic's on
---> End on E5 (02xxxx)
