i met the buddha at a downtown party - david byrne & ghost train orchestra lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i met the buddha at a downtown party
he was hanging by the pastries and the canapés
just stuffing himself like there was no tomorrow
with a beatific smile all over his face
i said, “dude, should you really be eating
all of that unhealthy stuff?
and you, being so enlightened and all
don’t you think you’ve had enough?”

[verse 2]
he said, “i had to retire from that enlightenment biz
i don’t have the answers, and i never did
they think i can help them, but i’m not that smart
so here, have a piece of this blue blueberry tart”

[non*lyrical vocals]

[verse 3]
you can have all your sutras
and all your mantras and prayers
let’s have another beverage
by yonder tree out there

[refrain]
now i don’t exist
and neither do you
so you’re d*mned if you don’t
and d*mned if you do
well, all of this suffering’s
just a temporary thing
right here is nirvana
where the little crawdads sing
[non*lyrical vocals]

[refrain]
now i don’t exist
and neither do you
so you’re d*mned if you don’t
and d*mned if you do
well, all of this suffering’s
just a temporary thing
right here is nirvana
where the little crawdads sing
