The Flaming Lips - The Golden Path (Edit) lyrics

As I walked along the supposed golden path I was confronted by mysterious specter He pointed to the graveyard over on yonder hill I paused in cosmic reflection Confused and wondering of how I came to die Hmm, I was confused For if I was dead, how and why did I die? But I composed myself and decided I should face it But I stood paralyzed on the supposed golden path And I was confronted by a powerful demon force And he said he was the Devil and when he spoke His words flowed like glowing lava from the mouth of a volcano And I said, "Help me, Lord" I found myself in some kinda Hell But I did not believe in Heaven and Hell World in opposites kind of reality But I gained control of myself and decided to press on And as I walked along the supposed golden path I was trembling with fear all the lions and wizards yet to come I seen in the distance, silver mountains rising high in the clouds And a voice from above did whisper some shining answer from the moon Please forgive me I never meant to hurt you Please forgive me I never meant to hurt you Please forgive me I never meant to hurt you Please forgive me I never meant to hurt you
