Fear Is The Mind Killer Songtext

How was I supposed to keep all of my sheep
When the hill's so steep
How was I supposed to know
That my stone was supposed gonna roll
Way down in the valley
To the ocean
Floatin' along with the strangest notion
Take off my old clothes
And never put 'em back on

Fear is the mind
Is thе mind killer
Leaves you with nowhеre to run, too
Plants the seed of hate within you
Fear, fear

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

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

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 supposed gonna roll
Way down in the valley
How was I supposed to see
All the fishes in the sea
Swimed on without me
To the ocean
Floatin' along with the strangest notion

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, too
Plants the seed of hate within you
Fear, fear
