Two Paths to Nirvana

Van Gogh's Grandsons

#INTRO

#VERSE
Did you ever burn two years
Living life by the book?
A friend said, “Read, ‘Be Here Now’”
My inner child got hooked
Lived like Baba Ram Dass
On a spiritual binge
He was an acid-tripping prof
Is that cool or cringe?

#PRE-CHORUS
So, I expanded my mind
Then burned that book
My inner child jumped a wormhole
To take a closer look

#CHORUS
Two paths to Nirvana
Do you know what they are?
Pet the head of a sacred pig
Dance the tango with a movie star
Either path will get you there
Fast as a soapy psychodrama
Two paths to Nirvana
Two paths to Nirvana

#VERSE
Found myself in Hollywood
Crashed the Universal Backlot
Ran up to her with a rose in my teeth
Had to give it my best shot
She took the bait
She took my hands
Danced the tango as she locked on my eyes
Flew like two flying pigs to Nirvana land

#PRE-CHORUS
Back home I needed another boost
So, I followed the other thread
Drove myself to Prindy’s farm
Found his biggest hog, kissed its cute forehead

#CHORUS
Two paths to Nirvana
Do you know what they are?
Pet the head of a sacred pig
Dance the tango with a movie star
Either path will get you there
Fast as a soapy psychodrama
Two paths to Nirvana
Two paths to Nirvana

#BRIDGE
Oh, the news, the news
Life changing news I heard
I’ve journeyed two paths to Nirvana
But gurus just found a third
They discovered sweet Nirvana
Hiding in a hot cocoa cup
Now they say forget about the pig
And just drink that cocoa up
Guzzle, guzzle, glug
I’m drinking it up

#INSTRUMENTAL

#PRE-CHORUS
Now I sip frothy hot cocoa
Every single night
Sends me to Nirvana
And the marshmallows, such a delight

#CHORUS
Three paths to Nirvana
Oh yeah, I know what they are
I’ve done all three with my head in the clouds
Now it’s night—I float among the stars
Maybe other paths could get me here
Memories of my pure-hearted mama
Countless paths to Nirvana
Countless paths to Nirvana

#OUTRO
Of all the paths I think I’ll choose
Clair de Lune played on piano by mama
My path to Nirvana
My path to Nirvana
My path to Nirvana
My path to Nirvana
