The Temple of the Golden Pavilion (金閣寺, Kinkaku-ji) is a novel by the Japanese author Yukio Mishima. It was published in 1956 and translated into English by Ivan Morris in 1959.
The novel is loosely based on the burning of the Reliquary (or Golden Pavilion) of Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto by a young Buddhist acolyte in 1950.
lyrics
Tune into your spine, you said
I know you'll have a good time
Heaven waits for you
On the other side
Yeah it's true
It's easy to wanna wanna new thing
Burn it to the ground
Don't waste your time in that gold pavilion
How can you be so sure
That your dreams are your own
Hands covered in dirt
Darkest under the nails
We can't build fires anymore
They came and took that away from us
So tell me why do you work
When every day the rocks
They pile up
Yeah it's true
It's easy to wanna wanna new thing
Burn it to the ground
Don't waste your time in that gold pavilion
If you're ready
I will meet you there to try to find a new thing
Burn it to the ground
Can't waste our time in that gold pavilion
You're gonna lead me
Take me down to the valley
Where we watch the colors come back into the sky
Out on the ridge
It's such a strange and new experience
You're gonna lead me
Take me down to the valley
Where we watch the colors come back into the sky
Out on the ridge
It's such a strange and new experience
You will never know which way is down
I tuned into my spine
I had a real good time, man
But now what's left for me here
At home
