about

Originating in the Mexican village of Chacala, "Spiritual Playboy" highlights the deceptive nature of love against a tropical backdrop.

lyrics

SPIRITUAL PLAYBOY

YOU'VE BEEN SAVING ALL YOUR PENNIES
YOU'VE BEEN SHOPPING AROUND
YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A GOOD, GOOD DEAL
AND YOU THINK YOU'VE FOUND
SOMEONE SHINY AND NEW
TO THROW YOURSELF INTO

YOU GO LOOKING FOR THOSE KIND, SWEET GIRLS
WHO'VE HAD SOME TROUBLES OF THEIR OWN
YOU WALK THE BEACH WITH A CROSS OF GOLD
AND SIT IN AN ASHRAM AND OHM
BUT SOMEDAY YOU'LL BE OLD
AND YOUR CHARMS WILL NO LONGER HOLD

JUST A SPIRITUAL PLAYBOY
PLAYING BY YOUR OWN RULES
YOU THINK YOU'RE ENLIGHTENED
BUT YOU'RE REALLY JUST CRUEL
TEAR HER DOWN JUST TO BUILD HER UP
MAKE HER BELIEVE SHE NEEDS YOUR EMBRACE
YOU TRIED IT ON ME AND I ALMOST FELL
THANK GOD IT WAS ONLY A PHASE

YOU LIKE TO USE FANCY WORDS
LIKE TANTRA, MANTRA, BRHAMA
A DAMAGED BOY WITH A PRETTY FACE
DID YOU FORGET THAT ONE CALLED KARMA
YOU THINK YOU'RE SOME KIND OF OSHO
BUT KALI WILL SWALLOW YOU WHOLE

CHORUS

ANANDA, PRIYA, AVIDYA
