Nirvana
Soffy Nongmeikapam *
Ordinary life shackles me.
Reality no longer impress me.
I had been planning my escape
Until I found a way.
It ain't bad, don't call it intoxication.
My escape plan is Bong.
Once you know how to take it,
It feels right, believe me
It ain't for retards
And it ain't intoxication.
The elucidating flower smells good.
Just grind it and pour it
Into the rolling paper, easy.
Wrap it and then light it, ready.
Inhale, swallow, exhale, feel it?
I bet you will adore it.
Bong dance inside my brain.
He is well mannered and calm.
Do you know what he does?
Or where he takes me?
He helped me see beautiful dreams
I stopped believing could come true.
He walks my way through my thoughts.
And when he opens my mind ...
It's Nirvana, Its Ecstasy.
Its an end to the boredom of life.
It's Eden, yes it's Paradise.
It's a door to the ecstasy of life.
The world now offers itself to me.
It is rolling in ecstasy at my feet.
My escape plan is glorious ...
Nirvana I have attained,
Oh, I am in paradise.
