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
