Fear Is The Mind Killer lyrics

[Verse 1]
How was I supposed to know
That my stone was gonna roll away
Down in the valley
How was I supposed to see
All the fishes in the sea
Swimmed on without me
I was just a little stone
At the bottom of the sea
The waves are crashing over me

[Verse 2]
How am I supposed to keep all of my sheep
When the hill's so steep
How was I supposed to know
That my soul was gonna roll way down in the valley
To the ocean
Floatin' along with the strangest notion, ah-ah
Take off my old clothes
And never put 'em back on

[Chorus]
Fear is the mind
Is the mind killer
Leaves you with nowhеre to run to
Plants the seed of hate within you
Fеar, fear
[Verse 3]
How was I supposed to know
I was gonna fall in love with 'ole Takanaka
Mowin' my lawn on a Sunday
Praying for the daisy's forgiveness
And the rain to come on to the ocean
How's the surf down there in Japan, good man?
Is it open?
I wanna be specifically Pacific
But I'm Arkansan
You know I must
I gotta trust
This lust
For the ocean
Pick it

[Chorus]
Fear is the mind
Is the mind killer
Leaves you with nowhere to run to
Plants the seed of hate within you
Fear, fear

[Verse 4]
How was I supposed to know
That my soul was gonna grow into a big soul flower
The only thing I'd ever need was a big hot sun
And the occasional shower
How was I supposed to know
That my stone was gonna roll away
Down in the valley
How was I supposed to see
All the fishes in the sea
Swimmed on without me
To the ocean
Floatin' along with the strangest notion
[Chorus]
Fear is the mind
Is the mind killer
Killer, killer
The real deal-a
Fear
Fear is the mind
Is the mind killer
Leaves you with nowhere to run to
Plants the seed of hate within you
Fear, fear
