lyrics

i fell in love with an indian girl,
she grew right up out the soul– clean out of the earth.
i fell in love with an indian girl,
her spirit bare faced and bright– as pure as mountain snow.
i knew i had to shape up my soul,
i put my lips to a hot spring– wash me to the core.
i spent my days on the jungle floor,
i will eat only from the trees– (o, that'll leave me hungry).
i spent my nights at the temple door,
sculpted heads will lead me– train me up and teach me how to rise,
o, how to rise up– to the beyond!

when i get, get, get my soul into perfect shape,
there'll be no way to deny me!
o, when i get my soul into perfect shape,
there'll be no way to deny me!

deep within a mountain range i read scripture on the ridgeline– words written in the peaks.
i went turtle hunting out in the sea, i held them down and read the i ching in their living shell.

when i get, get, get my soul into perfect shape,
there'll be no way to deny me!
o, when i get my soul into perfect shape,
there'll be no way to deny me!

transcend me up or leave me down– i do not mind as long as there is life around.
transcend me up or leave me down– i do love life down here awake and on the ground.

i don't want to stay a filthy debaser– so clean me up!

when i get, get, get my soul into perfect shape,
there'll be no way to deny me!
o, when i get my soul into perfect shape,
there'll be no way to deny me!

transcend me up or leave me down– i do not mind as long as there is life around.
transcend me up or leave me down– i do love life down here awake and on the ground.

o, when i get my soul into perfect shape, there'll be no way...
o, when i get my soul into perfect shape, there'll be no way...

i don't want to stay a filthy debaser– so clean me up!
