I didn't have no time for school Spent my days breaking the rules and regulations And in between they're having fun All the teachers told me, "Son, get an education" So I held my badge of freedom Dressed like a man fit for all seasons, hey I'm steppin' out, so cut me loose And as mama waved goodbye Tears were welling in her eyes, but she don't need them I turned to her and said Got my soul education You know it's stitched into the clothes that I wear Got my life information Upon the breeze that's blowing through my hair Got a pocket full of rainbows, oh And a sky to put them in, so blue So let the music come and save you I've found a God that I can pray to Deep inside my soul Hey! See you're mind, you can pollute But there's no substitute for intuition, there's no superstition So if you find you're petrified to let some natural law apply Then there's a whole lot missing, baby, yeah See, I know I'm blessed celestially Got a direct link with destiny, yeah Don't ask me why, I'm in the sky And if there's green wax in your eyes Something money just can't buy Hey, rags to riches, babes to bitches Brother, I don't mind, 'cause I got my Tu-tu, tu-tu Tu-tu-tu tu, tu tu Tu-tu, tu-tu Tu-tu-tu tu, tu tu I know I've got my soul education You know that it's stitched into the clothes that I wear I've got my life information Upon the wind that's blowing through my hair I know I've got a pocketful of rainbows, hey, hey And a sky to put them in, so blue So let the music come and save you, yeah I know I've found a God that I can pray to And it's deep inside my soul I've got my soul education You know that it's stitched into the clothes that I wear I've got my life information Hey, upon the breeze that's blowing through my hair I know I've got a pocket full of rainbows And a sky to put them in, so blue So I let the music come and save you I know I've found a God, I know I've found a God that I I know I've found a God that I can pray to, yeah (I've got my soul education) Just let that music come and save you I know I've found a God, I know I've found a God that I can pray to, yeah (I've got my life information) Let the music come and save you Let it come and be your soul

I'm drunk on a couch in Nashville In a duplex near the reservoir And every single thought is like a punch in the face I'm like a rabbit freezing on a star On the wrong side of Sunday morning Shattered in the terrible light Working for a bankrupt circus On the wrong side of Saturday night And I wanna be like water if I can 'Cause water doesn't give a damn Water doesn't give a damn Chased by a floating hatchet You can't just shoot your way out and go I could tell you things about this wallpaper That you'd never ever want to know But there's an alter in the valley For the things in themselves as they are And the triumph the obstacle And horseleg swastikas I wanna take a ride on the back of a sunbird Up into the highest number Up into the highest number And I wanna be like water if I can 'Cause water doesn't give a damn Water doesn't give a damn
