  it is chicken, it is eggs,
     |Em             |
it is in between your legs.
     |G             |
it is walking on the moon,
       |Em          |      ||
leaving your cocoon.


[Verse 2] (1:33-)

 it is the jigsaw. it is purple haze.
 it never stays in one place, but it's not a passing phase
 it is in the singles bar, in the distance of the face
 it is in between the cages, it is always in a space
 it is here. it is now.


[Chorus 2] (2:07-)

 Any rock can be made to roll
 If you've enough of it to pay the toll
 it has no home in words or gold
 Not even in your favourite hole
 it is hope for the dope
 it rides your horse without a hoof
 it is shaken not stirred;
 Cocktails on the roof.


[Verse 3] (2:34-)

 When you eat right thru' it you see everything alive
 it is inside the spirit, with enough grit to survive
 If you think that it's pretentious, you've been taken for a ride.
 Look across the mirror sonny, before you choose, decide
 it is here. it is now
