Be as honest as you can be 
Question orders, accept ideas 
Make a meal of what you're eating 
Don't be scared of social fears 
Oh that's what Charlie said 
Pass the plate before it gets heavy 
Have what's given, give what's gained 
Spot the gaps but know connections 
See how freedoms are retained 
And that's what Charlie said 
Play with work and work with play 
Make it all come back some day 
Be more entrance than departure 
Know somehow something you're after 
Oh that's what Charlie said 
Under the influence 
It turns the senses to directions 
Never known before 
It sets us up and keeps the score 
Provides a point to reach then we've got there 
And start again 
Provides a point to reach then we've got there 
And start again 
I don't agree with it 
I think it's really good 
Here's something else to fit 
And now it's understood 
My head's struck in advice 
Under the influence 
I had to ask him twice 
And then it all made sense 
Come here and pull up an edge 
And tell me your name 
I'm no longer sure I've met you before 
And I'd like to meet you again 
Under the influence, under the influence 
Under the influence, under the influence 
Under the influence, under the influence
