Smell of Petroleum The Pogues

[Verse 1]
Shaman came a calling, he was howling at the moon
He offered me a vision on the end of a silver spoon
He said he'd give me dreams, that all were in his powers
If only I would follow him, the universe was ours

[Verse 2]
Walked a thin white line to the coffin club, downstairs from the devils den
Had a large double Jesus chased down with a shot of Zen
The last thing I remember was lying in the tank
And when I came around again, everything was blank

[Chorus 1]
Floating high above the world
Out on the astral plane
I'm bouncing like a pinball
He's busy being born again

[Verse 3]
I met God on Primrose Hill, that's where he came to me
He stepped out of his saucer and I got down on my knees
From his lips came just one word, he left me all aglow
I sat down and had a smoke and watched the flowers grow

[Chorus 2]
The bats are in the belfry
And the bubbles in the bong
The secret of the universe
Is hidden in this song
