Artificial Prana
Music and lyrics: Mikael Ramel / 1969

Original Title: "Artificiell Prana"
Lyrics into English: Roy Colgate


Artificial prana – cannabis and marijuana
High above ´Fata Morgana´ - you may find eternal prana

I took a stroll around the park and guess what I found there –
some hippy hustler pushing grass.
Before I knew the score I had a chunk in my pocket –
the first I bought but not the last.
I lit it up and soon my head was spinning –
I did not know which way to go.
I saw the cops were coming so I went into hiding.
Thankful for the cover that a bush was providing.
Smoking hash just isn´t very law-abiding.

My nerves were all a-shaking so I headed on home wards –
to calm my nerves and have a smoke.
My buddy and his girl came round and we were real happy –
and I found some friends to share my dope.
At last the time had come for me to leave this world behind me –
and take a look inside my dreams.
It wasn´t very long before the smoke was ascending –
passed the pipe around and soon the colors were blending.
Now this is not the way of life I´m recommending.

Artificial prana – spreading faster than liana –
with cannabis and marijuana – you wont find the true nirvana.

At first I thought that I had found the perfect solution –
to all the problems in my way.
There didn´t seem to be a single thing that could stop me –
my happiness had come to stay.
It made me sad to see how so much energy got wasted –
just flowing out in empty words.
I felt as if I were some kind of manifestation –
seemed to think that I could change the whole of creation.
But my idea of heaven was just an imitation.

Artificial prana – cannabis and marijuana
High above ´Fata Morgana´ - you may find eternal prana.

I opened up my mind and let my fantasies lead me –
and I took a trip around the bend.
But although this world can make it hard to see where you´re going –
still you´ll find that you will get there in the end.
So if you want reality and peace everlasting –
then put your pipe away my friend.
You can take a magic journey and watch the future flying past –
you´ll feel as though you´re winning and get a shock when you come in last.
So sit yourself down and think! Do you really wanna move so fast?

Artificial prana – spreading faster than liana –
with cannabis and marijuana – you wont find the true nirvana.
