lyrics

As I climb up the tallest of the hills
I see my fate
In the shape of a wizard in a robe
He kindly waits

As I stand in the foothills of the range
His mouth it moves
What he said I consider very strange
And so would you

He said “oOo ah, oOo ah follow me,
There’s a clown and a monkey and a tambourine
oOo ah, oOo ah take my hand,
As for you you’re the singer in my mystic band”

oOo ah follow me
oOo ah tambourine
oOo ah take my hand

As my brow nearly fell in to my nose
I said “why me?”
He said “you sing like the cawing of a crow
Don’t you agree?”

I said “I know your intentions must be good
But that ain’t kind”
He said “it’s time that you step into the world
That is your mind”

(NNAMDÏ)
I could put a spell on you
And you could spread it freely
Knowing what I could do for you if you follow me
Would you choose, to come
Or choose to run?
I need you like mallet hit the reflex
See through opaque fallacies of regret
Tell me if you see this now
Tell me can you feel this power
Follow me and receive your blessing

He said “oOo ah, oOo ah follow me,
There’s a clown and a monkey and a tambourine
oOo ah, oOo ah take my hand,
As for you you’re the singer in my mystic band”

He said “oOo ah, oOo ah follow me,
There’s a clown and a monkey and a tambourine
oOo ah, oOo ah take my hand,
As for you you’re the singer in my mystic band”

He said “oOo ah, oOo ah follow me,
There’s a clown and a monkey and a tambourine
oOo ah, oOo ah take my hand,
As for you you’re the singer in my mystic band”
