Drifting Away

Life isn't what it's cracked up to be
   Living on an island and toking delightful weed
      His thoughts emerge faster and easier then before.
          His mother once said not to explore,
             The mystical substance that most hippies adore
                He is free from the world and insanity 
                    He takes it easy and drinks his wine.
                       Playing guitar all day and listens to 
                          The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes"
