Big Man Buddha - Fischer-z

I was surprised when you arrived

And addressed me as your son

You and me had a red pot tea

It was instantaneous

I know we’re all expandable but I like to feel secure

The way you see eternity

Well I feel like dying

When you explained possessions equal pain

When you explained how we all go back again

Once the dream has gone I called you on the telephone

Once the dream has gone I opened up my eyes

Oh, I’ll never measure up to you

Oh, I’ll never be a Lama, too

Big man … big man

When you cast the spirits out you must know that native tongue

I’ve never known an exorcist 'till you came this morning

When I observed your way of life I feel I’m getting warm

The way you talk, the way you think … so understated

When you explained possessions equal pain

When you explained how we all go back again

Once the dream has gone I called you on the telephone

Once the dream has gone I opened up my eyes

Oh, I’ll never measure up to you

Oh, I’ll never be a Lama, too

Big Man … big man
