Karma Man - Mono

Fingertips sun at sideshow stalls, they throw the balls
At coconut fur that hides behind
Coloured shades that blind your eyes (ooh)
Every child's mother holds an ice cream cone, they circle round
Perceived unknown by an eye that peers
From a hole in a tent where no one goes (ooh)

A figure sitting cross-legged on the floor
He's clogged and clothed in saffran robes
His beads are all he owns

Slow down, slow down
Someone must have said "Let's slow him down"
Slow down, slow down
It's pictured on the arms of the karma man

Fairy tale skin depicting scenes from human zoos
Impermanent toys like peace and war
A gentle face you've seen before (ooh)
Karma man tattooed on your side, the wheel of life
I see my times and who I've been
I only dig now and I don't know why (ooh)

I struggle hard to take these pictures in, but
All my friends can see is just the pinkness of his skin

Slow down, slow down
Someone must have said "Let's slow him down"
Slow down, slow down
It's pictured on the arms of the karma man

Slow down, slow down
Someone must have said "Let's slow him down"
Slow down, slow down
It's pictured on the arms of the karma man
