Verse 2:

The statue got me high

The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie

The statue made me fry

My coat contained a furnace where there used to be a guy

Chorus 2:

The stone it called to me

(And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)

A rock that spoke a word

(An animated mineral it can be heard)

And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air

The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chair

Post Chorus 1:

Sax Solo:

Chorus 3:

And now it is your turn

(Your turn to see the stone and then your turn to burn)

The stone it calls to you

(You can't refuse to do the things it tells you to)

And as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air

The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair

Post Chorus 2:

And what they found was just a statue

Standing where the statue got me high

And what they'll find is just a statue

Standing where the statue got you high
