Karma Man - Mono

Fingertips sun at sideshow stalls, they throw the balls

At coconut fur that hides behind

Coloured shades that blind your eyes (ooh)

Every child's mother holds an ice cream cone, they circle round

Perceived unknown by an eye that peers

From a hole in a tent where no one goes (ooh)

A figure sitting cross-legged on the floor

He's clogged and clothed in saffran robes

His beads are all he owns

Slow down, slow down

Someone must have said "Let's slow him down"

Slow down, slow down

It's pictured on the arms of the karma man

Fairy tale skin depicting scenes from human zoos

Impermanent toys like peace and war

A gentle face you've seen before (ooh)

Karma man tattooed on your side, the wheel of life

I see my times and who I've been

I only dig now and I don't know why (ooh)

I struggle hard to take these pictures in, but

All my friends can see is just the pinkness of his skin

Slow down, slow down

Someone must have said "Let's slow him down"

Slow down, slow down

It's pictured on the arms of the karma man

Slow down, slow down

Someone must have said "Let's slow him down"

Slow down, slow down

It's pictured on the arms of the karma man
