The Flaming Lips - The Golden Path (Ewan Pearson extended vocal) lyrics

As I walked along The supposed golden path I was confronted By a 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 to die... (to fade) Hmmm I was confused For if I was dead How and why did I die? But I composed myself And decided I should face him But I stood paralyzed on the supposed golden path And I was confronted By a powerful demon force And they said it 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 ( to fade) I found myself in some kind of hell But I did not believe in a Heaven-and-hell, world-in-opposite's kind of reality And I gained control of myself And I 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 and the clouds And voice from above did whisper some shining answer from the womb 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 As I walked along Please forgive me I never meant to hurt you As I walked along 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
