Album artwork[]

The album artwork features Rabbit Jack, am emblem associated with Geronimo Jackson. [1] Rabbit Jack, a disembodied skull, is shown in front of an image of outer space. The area of outer space is shown through a hole in a wood foreground. The Rabbit Jack wears a top hat that is reminiscent of a magician's hat, wrapped with a tie-dyed hatband. The hatband carries the Native American symbol of a butterfly, which represents "everlasting life", much like the ankh hieroglyph. [2] Rabbit ears extend upwards from the brim of the hat. Lotus blossoms appear in the rabbit's eyes, and there are orchids in the vegetation surrounding the hole through the foreground. Two bright stars and what looks like a galaxy are visible to the right of the Rabbit Jack. The band's name is written in transparency over an american flag.

Lyrics[]

Dharma Lady, how ya been?
Are we lovers, or we just friends?
I believe, oh I believe
I'm in love again.

Yeah your kissin', it feels so right
But you had another man holed up last night
Oh I believe. Yeah I believe
I'm in love again.

I can always tell when you've been drinking
But I never know just what you're thinking
Oh I believe, oh I believe
I'm in love again.

You say one thing once, and two things twice
I'm so confused, I can't take my own advice
Oh I believe, oh I believe
I'm in love again
Oh I believe, oh I believe
I'm in love again.
