Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh, ohm
[PreChorus]
I gotta be a Zen Buddha
To stand next to you, babe
'Cause I want you badder
And it ain't gettin' no better
It's gettin' frustratin'
Hangin' out with you, babe
I'm takin' up meditatin'
To get out of the state that you put me in
[Chorus]
Zen Buddha, Zen Buddha
Zen Buddha, Zen Buddha
Oh, oh, ohm
Oh, oh, ohm
[Verse 1]
My love's gettin' bigger than the Mount of Everest
Oh, it is wider than the whole Mojave
It is deeper than the Atlantic
It has expanded to include the Milky Way
[Chorus]
Zen Buddha, Zen Buddha
Zen Buddha, Zen Buddha
Oh, oh, ohm
Oh, oh, ohm
[PreChorus]
I gotta be a Zen Buddha
To stand next to you, babe
'Cause I want you badder
And it ain't gettin' no better
It's gettin' frustratin'
Hangin' out with you, babe
I'm takin' up meditatin'
To get out of the state that you put me in
[Chorus]
Zen Buddha, Zen Buddha
Zen Buddha, Zen Buddha
Oh, oh, ohm
Oh, oh, ohm
Oh, oh, ohm
