dougie poole - buddhist for a couple days lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
i was a buddhist for a couple days
got to nirvana, but i couldn’t stay
went to a church and prayed for mercy divine
to save my sorry behind
but they just turned my other cheeks away
see, since you been gone
i kinda lost my way
now here i am, a red+blooded american cliché
i was a buddhist for a couple days

[verse 1]
see, when you left
i nearly had myself a nervous breakdown
they found me kneedeep in trash
and breathing in and out of a brown paper bag
i walked around a while
and sat down lotus style
beneath a weeping willow and i cried
six days and nights
until i cried out every tear i had

[chorus]
and i was a buddhist for a couple days
got to nirvana, but i couldn’t stay
went to a church and prayed for mercy divine
to save my sorry behind
but they just turned my other cheeks away
see, since you been gone
i kinda lost my way
now here i am, a red+blooded american cliché
i was a buddhist for a couple days
alright
[instrumental break]

[verse 2]
well, you don’t need to be some kind of monk
to see this world has got you angry
it sure seems easy to be easygoing
when the goings easy as it seems for some
but if you look inside your broken heart the right way
you just might find a yin+yang
maybe more than one
it’s easy and it’s free
and all you gotta do is breathe
take it from me

[chorus]
and i was a buddhist for a couple days
got to nirvana, but i couldn’t stay
went to a church and prayed for mercy divine
to save my sorry behind
but they just turned my other cheeks away
see, since you been gone
i kinda lost my way
now here i am, a red+blooded american cliché

[outro]
i was a buddhist for a couple days
got to nirvana, but i couldn’t stay
went to a church and prayed for mercy divine
to save my sorry behind
but they just turned my other cheeks away
see, since you been gone
i kinda lost my way
now here i am, a red+blooded american cliché
i was a buddhist for a couple days
