THE STATUE GOT ME HIIIIIGH (hiiigh!)

THE STATUE GOT ME HIIIIIGH (hiiigh!)

THE MONUMENT OF GRANITE SENT A BEAM INTO MY EYEEE!

THE STATUE MADE ME DIIIIIE (diiie!)

THE STATUE MADE ME DIIIIIE (diiie!)

IT TOOK MY HAND, IT KILLED ME, AND IT TURNED ME TO THE SKY...

THE STONE IT CALLED TO MEEEEE 

(and now i see the things the stone has shown to me!)

A ROCK THAT SPOKE A WOOORRD 

(an animated mineral, it can be heard!)

and though i once preferred a human being's company,

they pale before the monolith that towers over me!

THE STATUE GOT ME HIIIIIGH (hiiigh!)

THE STATUE GOT ME HIIIIIGH (hiiigh!)

THE TRUTH IS WHERE THE SCULPTOR'S CHISEL CHIPPED AWAY THE LIIIIIE!

THE STATUE MADE ME FRYYYYY (fryyy!)

THE STATUE MADE ME FRYYYYY (fryyy!)

MY COAT CONTAINED A FURNACE WHERE THERE USED TO BE A GUY...

THE STONE IT CALLED TO MEEEEE 

(and now i see the things the stone has shown to me!)

A ROCK THAT SPOKE A WOOORRD 

(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!

and what they found was just a statue standing where the statue got me high...

and what they found was just a statue standing where the statue got me hiiiiigh!

*sick-ass bridge* 

AND NOW IT IS YOUR TUUUURRN 

(your turn to hear the stone, and then your turn to burn!)

THE STONE IT CALLS TO YOOOOOU 

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

and as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air,

the evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair!

and what they found was just a statue standing where the statue got me high...

and what they found is just a statue standing where the statue got you 

high.
