Lyrics

Magic Bus

All aboard, magic bus

Take a ride, become one of us

Here we are, bring our minds

To accord

We had maps, we got lost

We had plans, they got tossed

We dropped out for our love and the trust

Pledge you might drop

By these bones, by this blood

Who we are is enough

By these bones, by this blood

We exist for the bones

By these bones, by this blood

We'll divide, we are dust

We'll find God when we lost

All we've got

Only fools ride this bus

Uninsured, we are driverless

We aspire to the highs

Of a ziggurat

Spirit moves through the cracks

Our guru is a cat

Who lives both in this world and in mine

Pledge you might drop

By these bones, by this blood

Who we are is enough

By these bones, by this blood

We create for a buzz

By these bones, by this blood

We'll divide, we are dust

We'll find God when we lost

All we've got

Alright, alright

Alright, alright

Alright
