The Salvia Divinorum Song (Spiraling Shape)

[Stiney]

Ok when I first heard this song (in an episode of Malcom in the Middle) I absolutely loved it, it just sums up salvia so brilliantly to me. Ok I know what the song is actually written about, it's not salvia, but songs can have more than one meaning and this fits Sally D so perfectly. The whole song and even the music that accompanies could be in the dictionary beside the words Salvia Divinorium. I couldn't find a link to the whole song, but here are the lyrics. There also an amazing band, so many great original songs, it's a shame they never got the recognition they deserved.

They Might Be Giants - Spiraling Shape

Down, down, down you go
No way to stop
As you fall, hear me call
No, no, no
Listen to this warning and
Consider these
Simple words of advice
Stop, stop, stop

Fogging the view, cupping face to the window
In darkness you make out a spiralling shape
Putting all reason aside you exchange
What you got for a thing thats hypnotic and strange

The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(everyone wants to see that thing)

And nobody knows what its really like
But everyone says its great
And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes

This could lead to excellence
Or serious injury
Only one way to know
Go, go, go
Go ahead, wreck your life
That might be good
Who can say whats wrong or right?
Nobody can

Put out your hands and you fall through the window
And clawing at nothing you drop through the void
Your terrified screams are inaudible drowned
In the spiral ahead and consumed in the shape

The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(everyone wants to see that thing)

And now that youve tried it, youre back to report
That the spiralling shape was a fraud and a fake
You didnt enjoy it, you never believed it
There wont be a refund, youll never go back

The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(everyone wants to see that thing)

And nobody knows what its really like
But everyone says its great
And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes
(spiral in their eyes)

Fogging the view, cupping face to the window
In darkness you make out a spiralling shape
Putting all reason aside you exchange
What you got for a thing thats hypnotic and strange

The spiralling shape will make you go insane
(everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
But everyone wants to see that groovy thing
(everyone wants to see that thing)

Dont spend the rest of your life wondering
(everyone wants to see that thing)

Dont spend the rest of your life wondering
(everyone wants to see that groovy thing)
Dont spend the rest of your life wondering
(everyone wants to see that thing)


Uncanny no?
