My credit's no good but my karma ain't bad, I'm a buffalo roaming the hills.
lyrics
Well, the prayer wheels were turning at the temple
The smell of incense was heavy in the air
And the monks were all chanting a tune that felt so familiar
And when I close my eyes and sing it, it takes me back there
And they sang Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Up at the temple, they gave me a song
Well I wondered aloud if I'd like living at the temple
I wondered if there were some answers that I might find
Wondered if all of this thinking might somehow be harmful
But if nothing is permanent, then neither's my mind
So I sang Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Down at the temple, they gave me a song
My credit's no good but my karma ain't bad
I'm a buffalo roaming the hills
And all this soul searching might come to an end
If I could just keep my mind still
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
The jewel in the lotus gave me a song
So we sang Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Up at the temple, they gave me song
