I Saw God

from Humors by John Lyle

lyrics

I Saw God

By accident I took a double dose of L.S.D.
I saw God inside my mirror and He looked a lot like me
Maybe two, three inches shorter, and a little sparse on top
He was cleaning his glasses, He was cleaning his glasses
With the blood of a lamb chop

I said, God, what you doin’ hung out in my mirror
He said takin’ a vacation, man, you never see me here
I said, God, I see you now, and when I wanna shave
I’ll have to drop my razor, I’ll have to drop my razor.
I’ll have to drop my razor and wave

God said, what have you been eating
I said Owsley’s L.S.D.
He said, go and count your marbles, kid
You’re lucky you still see
They’re not here, they’re over there, He said
So over there I go, and count my marbles
Count my marbles, count my marbles slow

When wonder piled on wonder up my alley I can see
God inside a cat’s-eye cleaning salmon with a key
