lyrics
When I set out on a journey,
though the road be twisty turney,
or the path be straight and narrow,
there's one constant that I bring.
Riding shotgun on the dashboard -
facing backward, looking inward -
my companion on life's highway
Plastic Buddha on a spring.
O Plastic Buddha, my companion
bring me joy and understandin'
Help me neutralize the tension,
as I navigate today.
When some kid in a Suburban
cuts me off and takes my parking place
remind me of my inner peace
as I go on my way.
Bald of head and robe of yellow,
he's a soulful little fellow
Bouncing on his spring
to the rhythm of the road
His expression of serenity
reminds me of what has to be.
Helps me keep my sanity;
makes sure I don't explode.
O Plastic Buddha, my companion / bring me joy and understandin'
Help me neutralize the tension, / as I navigate today.
When a Texan in his Lexus flips me off then takes the exit
Remind me of my inner peace / As I go on my way
When I'm sittin' in construction
and I'm sobbin in frustration,
and the lights stretch to eternity:
well, at least it feels that way.
Plastic Buddha helps my patience,
keeps me calm, brings me acceptance
As I watch him do his spring dance;
his gentle bob and sway
O Plastic Buddha, my companion / bring me joy and understandin'
Help me neutralize the tension, / as I navigate today.
When I'm trapped behind a folkie driving slowly in his Prius
Remind me of my inner peace / As I go on my way
