Me Wise Magic

I know what you're thinkin'
What you're thinkin' is easy to see
I know what you're dreamin'
I have those same dreams
Reachin' to the feet of God
Lookin' for a sign
It was right here all the time, time, time, time ...
I am you and you are me
Do you believe?
Don't you trust me?
Me wise magic
Baby it's all right!
If you could see through my eyes
Me wise magic
I feel you breathin'
Don't you trust me?
I feel you agreein'
I know what you need
Don't you lie
Just listen through me!
My words at best to you a fortune cookie
Who are you and where are we?
Do you believe?
Don't you trust me?
Me wise magic, yeah-yeah!
If you could see
See through my eyes
Me wise magic
A little zen headed your way
You'll get it halfway down the interstate
Four days from now it all blows clear
A Buddhist riff for your inner ear
Do you believe?
Don't you trust me?
Me wise magic, yeah-yeah!
If you could see
See through my eyes
Me wise magic ...
Do you believe?
Tell me you believe
Do you believe?
If you could see
Me wise magic
Do you believe?
Me wise magic
If you could see
Me wise magic

Farbeit for me to suggest that Diamond Dave & the boys
aren't probably the go-to folks to consult
if you're seeking to learn about or increase the spirituality in your life.
You do you, as the current favorite expression among the cattle goes.
That said, the fact that they attempted to write a spiritual song
of any kind is fairly remarkable;
even more remarkable in my view is that it spent something like
a month and a half atop Billboard's charts in 1996.
As far as their body of work goes,
it remains one of my all-time favorites.
Most definitely, its weirdness has helped.
But the song is also kick-ass, and remains so nearly
thirty years later.
