about

At the Pike Place Market in Seattle a man has a tarot reading. He begins to feel an epileptic seizure coming on. To ward it off he begins singing a crazy mantra, which attracts a small chorus of spirits, gods and devils into his life.

lyrics

Went down to the market
To get my fortune read
The guy at Tenzing Momo
Well, this is what he said:
He said, "You got to have a New Age mantra,
To keep yourself alive.
You gotta get yourself some (Clunks from the band)

Joe: So I started in to singin' it
And oh, so soon
My head turned heavy
Like a time-bomb tomb,
Inside out,
Upside down, Oh

All:
Mantra mantra kundalini ya ya
Yoga Mat Gucci do a chakra cha cha
Latte, Latte soy stigmata
Feng Shui, dada, soul, oy! lambada!

Nuc, nerf, revelation, chrystal raga
Ding dong dairy deus machinata
Baba Yaga burn pichuli rasta
What you say bounces off me, na na na

Na Mioho Renge Kyo yo
Shivananda hopscotch vegananda
Coca cola wicca hari kari mata
She sews seashells on a square piñata

Joe:
Llama, llama, pizza rama
Vishnu wish you peaceful manna
Yin Yang paddywack hari hama
This little piggy went to Market, Mama
