Ladder Song

No one knows where the ladder goes You're gonna lose what you love the most You're not alone in anything You're not unique in dying I feel a strange day every now and then Fall asleep reading science fiction I wanna fly in your silver ship Let Jesus hang and Buddha sit It's on now The days are long now The ups and the sun downs And a twisting mind If I gotta go first I'll do it on my terms I'm tired of traitors Always changing sides They were friends of mine Don't hang around once the promise breaks Or you'll be there when the next one's made Kiss the feet of a charlatan Some imagined freedom All the rest is predictable You can say you're the first to know Bought a mantra to concentrate Car alarm or hissing snake I know now How it's gonna turn out You've got to calm down Or I'll lose my place Got to get to the center Got to get to the concert Run off with a dancer Gonna celebrate We'll welcome the new age Covered in warrior paint Lights from the jungle to the sky See now a star is born Looks just like a blood orange Don't it just make you want to cry? Precious friend of mine Will I know when it's finally done? This whole life is a hallucination You're not alone in anything You're not alone in trying to be --- Ladder Song - Bright Eyes
