In 1850BC in Babylon
I played my music under the sun
You were sick, then you were gone
You lost everyone
I played at your healing rite
But it didn't help you feel alright
You were a sick and sorry sight
All green and gray and white
You were left and ostracized
But I would stay right by your side
We would find somewhere to hide
And I played until you died
In 420BC
I was a student of Hippocrates
No one really remembers me
But it was a time I was happy
You were staring at the moon
Swearing something would happen soon
They would laugh and call you a lunatic
Next in AD 46
We were talking about the apocalypse
We were standing under a crucifix
With a delicate mix
But then again in year 610
We were saying "carpe diem"
Happiest we've ever been
And then
Then in 1925
I was institutionalized
I was criticized and excorcized
And held there 'til I died
But when I knew that you were there too
I felt happy for a minute or two
They shocked our brains 'til they were stew
Then life began anew
Sometime later in '73
I was hooked on LSD
I took so much I couldn't see
And I swear it almost killed me
We kept it going 'til '77
I did so much I was in heaven
I took whatever I was given
It was a crazy way of living
But then my mind was forever changed
The chemicals took over my brain
I'm pretty sure I was insane
And nothing was the same
In 2015 I played guitar
I deluded myself into thinking I was a star
I didn't make it very far
Until I was in the hospital again
You weren't really in my life
At that time
Skip to 3066
We made it through an actual apocalypse
We let all the land fall off
And burn, burn, burn
We were living Fallout style
In little holes that went on for miles
When I got out, I saw your face and I
Smiled
In 7078
I was in the center of the milky way
You were still kind of hanging out
In the boonies
Thanks to rips through time and space
Every once in a while I could see your face
But even through half the galaxy
You never felt that far away
Then in the time of infinity
We were all just energy
I was you as you were me
And we were all together
