Lyrics

 We went out on the road today
And the sky was full of tears
And each small town looked so blue
And they seemed to ache for better years
Then my cell phone started ringin' wild
Like a fire alarm from hell
And when i picked it up a sad voice said,
"It's time to ring that golden bell"

And i was talkin' to the Buddha
And i made the Buddha cry
Yeah i was talkin' to the Buddha
And i realized that i, i've been causin' all this rain

He said meet me at joe's diner
Where route 6 meets 88
Well i arrived at the appointed time
But Buddha said, "you're runnin' late"
We both ordered an espresso
From the owner's new machine
And as the jukebox played Nirvana
He said, " ignorance is mean"

And i was talkin' to the Buddha
And i made the Buddha cry
Yeah i was talkin' to the Buddha
And i realized that i, i've been causin' all this rain
I've been causin' all this rain
Somebody help me stop the rain

Buddha said the twelve gates wait for you
And creation's in travail
Waiting for us all to see the light
And restore what we have failed
The waitress said, "hey you want a refill?"
But Buddha said, "there is no time"
"There's three seconds left to zero"
Then that white light stole my mind

And i was talkin' to the Buddha
And i made the Buddha cry
I was talkin' to the Buddha
And i realized that i, i've been causin' all this rain
I've been causin' all this rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Help me stop the rain...

We've been talkin' to the Buddha
