The album ends with “Reincarnation Song,” a philosophic imagining of the soul’s post-mortem options. Phillips said the latter song’s lyrics came to him over breakfast one day while he was reading “The Doors of Perception,” Aldous Huxley’s account of altered states of mind.
I thought I'd be alright today
Thought I'd be alive today
Give me your eyes, I'll show you things
You never dreamed you thought you'd see
I find myself in light I'd seen
In sleep sometimes or mescaline
And like the sun, you can't stare into
Very long without it blinding you
I thought this light would comfort me
I thought it would be easy
There's a tugging at my sleeve
And so much baggage I brought with me to leave
Something so big I can't understand
From trying to I would go mad
So I hurry back to little earth
For another life, another birth
Another life, another birth
Mother?
