Lyrics

long time no see brother
how you been
itz been a long life we had here
i says to him

you look like the wise old man to me i said
he said that i am
but i tell you:

i should have a shaman

for the mind reside in psychedelic space
she reside there
she arise there

so there we are
two old men in the forest
telling stories about our lives

and you look like the poet to me he said
always the troubled one
i said that is so, but but i tell you:

i should have a shaman

for the mind reside in psychedelic space
she reside there
she arise there

long time no see brother
i guess this is the end
you know you've always been
a friend
