lyrics

I went down to the corner to buy myself a beer
My vision was blurred
My motivations none too clear
I said hey, little Mara, I will treat you right
Uptown, downtown, Saturday night
Just another random impulse
Headin’ straight for you
Lookin’ like it might be true

Well me and the Buddha went drinkin' hard late last night
I asked him “How’s that OCD?” he threw his bottle and he busted the barroom light
The barkeep says "Now Buddha, what gives you the right?"
Buddha says "Barkeep, no worries, just turn on your inner light,
It's just another random impulse with a point of view
Lookin’ like it might be true"

I said, hey, little Mara
You know y ou always look so right
And hey, little Mara
Uptown, downtown, Saturday night
Another side dish baby, won't spoil your appetite
Just another random impulse, fadin' to blue
Wishin’ that it might be true

Well the juke box was janglin' and clangin’ through the midnight fog
Chooglin’ and a-blarin', a-barkin' like an old watch dog
You know that it’s been barkin’ up my back brain, I’m tryin’ to comply
Take me with you Buddha baby
And please be my alibi
Just another random impulse, without a clue
Wishin’ that it might be true

I went lookin' for the Buddha
But the Buddha had already gone
That dancin’ barracuda,
Just a-keepin on a-keepin' on
With his beer belly polka, and his Eskimo eyes
Come dance me Buddha baby, please be my alibi
I’m just another random impulse
What's a poor boy to do?
Except to make believe that it's all true
All true
Make believe that its all true
