[Verse 1] The statue got me high The statue got me high The monument of granite Sent a beam into my eye The statue made me die The statue made me die It took my hand it killed me And it turned me to the sky [Chorus] 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 though I once preferred a human beings company They pale before the monolith that towers over me [Verse 2] The statue got me high The statue got me high The truth is where the sculptors chisel Chipped away the lie The statue made me fry 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 [Bridge 1 2x] And what they found Was just a statue standing Where the statue got me high [Chorus 3] And now it is your turn your turn to hear the stone and then your turn to burn The stone it calls to you you cant 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 [Bridge 2] And what they found Was just a statue standing Where the statue got me high And what theyll find Is just a statue standing Where the statue got you High
