Are You Experienced?
If you can just get your mind together
Then come on across to me
We'll hold hands, and then we'll watch the sunrise
From the bottom of the sea
Are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have
Well, I know, I know
You'll probably scream and cry
That your little world won't let you go
But who in your measly little world is trying to prove
That you're made out of gold and can't be sold?
So, are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have
Ah-ah-ah
Uh, let me prove it to you
I woke from yesterday
Alive, but the war is here to stay
So my darling and me
Decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea
Not to die but to be reborn
Away from lands so battered and torn
Forever
So, you see it's really such a mess, such a mess
Every inch of earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lipstick-tube-shaped things
Continue to rain and cause screamin' pain
And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red
And our feet find the sand and the sea is straight ahead
Straight ahead, straight ahead
Trumpets and violins, I hear in the distance
I think they're calling our names
Maybe now you can't hear them, but you will, you will
If you just take hold of my hand
Are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have
Not necessarily stoned
But beautiful
Then come on across to me
We'll hold hands, and then we'll watch the sunrise
From the bottom of the sea
Are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have
Well, I know, I know
You'll probably scream and cry
That your little world won't let you go
But who in your measly little world is trying to prove
That you're made out of gold and can't be sold?
So, are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have
Ah-ah-ah
Uh, let me prove it to you
I woke from yesterday
Alive, but the war is here to stay
So my darling and me
Decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea
Not to die but to be reborn
Away from lands so battered and torn
Forever
So, you see it's really such a mess, such a mess
Every inch of earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lipstick-tube-shaped things
Continue to rain and cause screamin' pain
And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red
And our feet find the sand and the sea is straight ahead
Straight ahead, straight ahead
Trumpets and violins, I hear in the distance
I think they're calling our names
Maybe now you can't hear them, but you will, you will
If you just take hold of my hand
Are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have
Not necessarily stoned
But beautiful
