about

I had just finished reading "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and was sitting in the waiting room at Kaiser Oakland when I had the realization that turned into this song.

lyrics

Long ago, to and fro
I got about an hour or so of enlightenment
And it chilled me to the bone
I could see apparently
All the falsehoods and the lies
I got hip to the guise

Long ago, to and fro
I got about an hour or so of enlightenment
And it thrilled me to the bone
I could see apparently
All the falsehoods and the lies
I got hip to the guise

Tied to the Madness Tree
Tied to the Madness Tree
Tied to the Madness Tree

Wake up! Time to open your eyes
Take off, take off your disguise!
Find the truth, find it in yourself
Know you inner wealth

I planted this tree
I watered this tree
I tended this tree
And then I tied this tree to me
And I can set myself free
