lyrics

You can bid for as long as the candle burns
Stand still for as long as the universe turns
Unfurl your memory like the spring ferns
And scatter to the wind everything you've learned
Pick open your mind and leave the door ajar
With herbs and spices from afar
 
From the northeast passage and plains of Moscow
There is no end to what I could get for you now
From the Portobello road to Macau
All that your fractured conscience will allow
Pick open your mind and leave the door ajar
With herbs and spices from afar
 
From the clippers on the run to the molasses in the rum
Earl grey, salt petre, opium
So lay down your weary harmonium
And gaze into the cubic zirconium
Pick open your mind and leave the door ajar
With herbs and spices from afar
 
 
I don't sell problems only solutions
So let me flip the lid of your constitution
Lubricate the cogs and gears of confusion
With a bone china cup and a new infusion
Pick open your mind and leave the door ajar
With herbs and spices from afar
