You Can Only Be So Cozmik

©1979 Robert Willey

When you wanna be high and have that cozmik view
but you're always comin' down and long for somethin' new
here's a word of warning, though there's nothin' you can do
when you think you're all together life'll play a trick on you
might as well accept it, you know this world's a zoo
in everything that's holy there's an earthly side, too
You can only be so cozmik

When you're lookin' in the heavens down on earth you stub yer toe
but don't dwell on those things that hold you down below
don't resist the path you're on, it's the way for you to go
the ups and downs are all a part of the road, you know
sit back, relax, enjoy the show
until that legendary release from this world of woe
You can only be so cozmik

The holiest guru on the highest hill must sometimes take a pee
life is not as predictable as they show you on TV
it was my tantric queen who told me this, I think you will agree
she brought me to enlightenment and shared her crabs for free
it was revealed in meditation as I sat beneath a tree
a messenger of the Lord, a bird, said as it dropped it's load on me:
"You can only be so cozmik."
