Lyrics

Astral Dad

Is he dead or alive?

His children can't decide

His eyes are wide open

As he sits petrified

Sitting in a garden in a posture sublime

Traveling through light to the time before time

Astral dad

His wife is in the garden

Picking spinach and green beans

He is in the ether

Working behind the scenes

Searching for souls who need a helping hand

Magic is just physics that we don't yet understand

Astral dad

Astral projection dad

Astral projection dad

All across the universe

Eliminating the deadly curse

With the wings of his mind

He gives sight to the blind

But his children are getting worried

That he will lose his mind

All across the universe, he spreads his energy

Out of body warrior, he wants us all to see

Astral dad

All across the universe

Eliminating the deadly curse

Is he dead or alive?

His children can't decide

His eyes are wide open

As he sits petrified

Sitting in a garden in a posture sublime

Traveling through light to the time before time

Astral dad

Astral dad
