lyrics

Golden flower, shines within me
Beyond time, blooming vines.
In the center of the petals
Consciousness dreaming this.

I am the Atman, I am the Atman!
Multiverse arise in the dewdrop of my mind.

Golden flower, flawless flawless
I forget I am It.

I am the Atman, I am the Atman!
Multiverse arise in the dewdrop of my mind.
I am the Atman, I am the Atman!
Constantly surprised as infinity unwinds.

Hold on, Hold on, hold on, hold on
Cause were bout to take a little trip in the ship, but there is no ship
Your equipped, fully zipped.
No we wont tell mama if you take a little sip,
No we wont tell mama if you take a little sip
Of elixer power, the Golden Flower
Turning death into life and droughts into showers
I was passing the hours when a yogi showed up in a vision,
and gently spoke:

“You’ll go far If you lasso a star. You'll go far..."

Gasoline soul so cold so cold
I spark into this boldness, boldness!
Fire melts the roof so sky
Can touch my eyes I come alive!

Gasoline soul so cold so cold
I spark into this boldness, boldness!
Fire melts the roof so sky
Can touch my eyes and make me come alive!

The center of the atom bleeds love, just because.
The secret of the golden flower is love, just because.
The center of all things bleed love, just because.
The only lasting power is love, just because.

Golden flower, you’re my holy, fragrant friend
Without end.
