Buddha’s ashes are falling
slowly in the temples
in the mountains above Hiroshima
Don’tcha know the score by now
up is down and north is south
That’s not the same thing at all
Nothing means anything
that’s the only lesson of
the modern post nuclear age
I regard all things on earth
passing flickers drifting by
mind drifting along another page
What you see is what you get
It may miss the mark but I’m not there yet
I only get to glimpse it now and then
I should have mentioned it
I guess I did a while ago
I don’t know nothin’ about Buddha’s Zen
You can read an explanation of the origin of these lyrics here
