Aren't all the ivory castles Worth all of the ha**les? One incurs when he blows his mind Aren't all the rainbow colors Worth all the rain? Aren't the fine sensations worth all the pain? If life seems to be a drag Keep your spirits high and try to quit relying On the outside world To bring you joy You can't command them To want anything but wealth Don't try and understand them
'Till you understand yourself No greed and hated (rule?) today I feel it right now Going up and coming down Colors all around And I thrive Now all my ivory castles Were surely worth the ha**les And I'm glad That I blew my mind I've learned to make my pleasures Things that I can find I've learned to take my treasures And store them in my mind And happiness is everything
