Verse 1 : Liquor livin’ in my liver / Extra degrees expected for it not to shiver / Forcin’ my focus to quiver /
The quiz, euhh ? / I don’t know what it consists of / Since abandoned by the stork on the porch,
I’ve been forkin’ fortune / Cuttin’ the fat, the green greed growin ‘round the seed / Urgently searchin for merchants,
And if you trample on ‘em, they sting like sea urchins / Preventin’ us to burgeon like presidents in Virgin-I-Aaa, Hee Haww /Slowly walkin’ us around like donkeys / So I close the mansion with the door key, put in the car key / And open my mouth like Charles Barkley / Clarks keeps me acute to cute putes / Cooper’s flute, along as I commute / Mute, compute my route to the sun, jew fuel
Chorus : I’m A Mind Traveller, Mind Traveller / Seekin’ freedom like a Leveller, like a Leveller (x3)
I’m A Mind Traveller, Mind Traveller / Seekin’ Freedom like a Leveller
Verse 2 : Left with lust, loathing lava as my brain erupts / Corrupts my instincts and in sinks the nonsense /
Phnom Penh with dolmens / Destinations I create with my pen / Dominate, non-sovereign authority / Colloquially, tellin’ me to go away like Dorothy /Hercules weights on my caramello shoulders / Balancin’ like Colorado boulders / I told her, but instantly it turned into vapors / Mary loves us all and thinks she can cape us / But lights are all orange on the grey bus / Only us can save us / Me, I’m chasin’ Manhattan like Rockefeller / Feelin’ the rhythm like Fela with my fellas / Fellatios while the driver fillin’ the tank in the gas station / Be patient, we aint’ racin’ / Our path we are carefully tracin’
Chorus : I’m A Mind Traveller, Mind Traveller / Seekin’ freedom like a Leveller, like a Leveller (x3)
I’m A Mind Traveller, Mind Traveller / Seekin’ Freedom like a Leveller
Verse 3 : They all complain but comply / Entertain the tamed like dumb flies / He shrugs, lies on the sofa /Goin’ so fast, so far / Further than
he could by foot / Channels got him connected like channels / Like everybody puts flannel, a world panel, warriors on saddles battle / Rattlesnakes and lakes / At home, eyes open wide on earth / It’s the TV curse / Storin’ like clerks, no purpose to analyze / Lets the wrong rise, truth compromised for a mental demise / And we deny the «I», to disguise for their eyes / Cries are comin’ from the inside / It’s the sweat due to the pressure / Circled by the threshers / Ahhhh... I need a refresher / Or like the Doc’ some girl like Vanessa
