John Wesley Harding
Congratulations (On Your Hallucinations)
[Verse 1]
You always surprise me
With the way you use your eyes
I mean the way you see things differently from me
And I am green with envy
How you see a glass half-full
When it's just one gulp away from empty
I'm pleased you think that everything is nice
Ignorance is bliss so don't think twice
[Chorus]
Congratulations on your hallucinations
Congratulations on your hallucinations
They bear no relation to the truth
[Verse 2]
Explain from what perspective
Everything's improving
Or is that all too confusing for you?
Either you're completely crazy
Or you know something I don't
And my guess is that it's something I don't want to
Well, what gets you from A to B? (What gets you from A to B?)
Does it start with a capital G, O, D?
[Chorus]
Congratulations on your hallucinations
Congratulations on your hallucinations
They bear no relation to the truth
[Verse 3]
Is it the X-Files or the kung fu?
Have you got a guru
Who’s shown what you what your money's really worth?
Is it all down to the homegrown?
Baby, please phone home
We miss you back here on planet earth
I know that this is water off your back
(Know that this is water off your back)
But tell me what it is that makes you quack?
[Chorus]
Congratulations on your hallucinations
Congratulations on your hallucinations
They bear no relation to the truth
[Outro]
They bear no relation
(I'll have what you're having)
(Make mine a double)
