Slip Inside This House

The 13th Floor Elevators
1967



Bedoin in tribes ascending 
From the egg into the flower, 
Alpha information sending 
States within the heaven shower 
From disciples the unending 
Subtleties of river power 
They slip inside this house as they pass by 

If your limbs begin dissolving 
In the water that you tread 
All surroundings are evolving 
In the stream that clears your head. 
Find yourself a caravan 
Like Noah must have led 
And slip inside this house as you pass by. 

Slip inside this house as you pass by.
True conception, knowing why 
Brings even more than meets the eye 
Slip inside this house as you pass by. 

In this dark we call creation 
We can be and feel and know 
From an effort comfort station 
That's survives you on the go 
There's infinite survival in 
The high baptismal glow. 
Slip inside this house as you pass by. 

There is no season when you are grown
You are always risen from the seeds you've sown
There is no reason to rise alone 
Other stories given have sages of their own. 

Live where your heart can be given 
And your life starts to unfold 
In the forms you envision 
In this dream that's ages old 
On the river layer is the only sayer 
You receive all you can hold 
Like you've been told. 

Every day's another dawning 
Give the morning winds a chance 
Always catch your thunder yawning 
Lift your mind into the dance 
Sweep the shadows from your awning 
Shrink the fourfold circumstance 
That lies outside this house don't pass it by. 

Higher worlds that you uncover 
Light the path you want to roam 
You compare there and discover 
You won't need a shell of foam 
Twice born gypsies care and keep 
The nowhere of their former home 
They slip inside this house as they pass by. 
Slip inside this house as you pass by. 

You think you can't, you wish you could 
I know you can, I wish you would 
Slip inside this house as you pass by. 

Four and twenty birds of Maya 
Baked into an atom you 
Polarized into existence 
Magnet heart from red to blue 
To such extent the realm of dark 
Within the picture it seems true 
But slip inside this house and then decide. 

All your lightning waits inside you 
Travel it along your spine 
Seven stars receive your visit 
Seven seals remain divine 
Seven churches filled with spirit, 
Treasure from the angels' mine 
Slip inside this house as you pass by. 
Slip inside this house as you pass by. 

The space you make has your own laws 
No longer human, gods are cause 
The center of this house will never die. 

There is no season when you are grown 
You are always risen from the seeds you've sown 
There is no reason to rise alone 
Other stories given have sages of their own. 

Draw from the well of unchanging 
and its union nourishes on 
In the right re-arranging 
Till the last confusion is gone 
Water-brothers trust in the ultimust 
Of the always singing song they pass along. 

One-eyed men aren't really reigning 
They just march in place until 
Two-eyed men with mystery training 
Finally feel the power fill 
Three-eyed men are not complaining. 
They can YO-YO where they WILL 
They slip inside this house as they pass by. 
Don't pass it by.
