Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
We could float among the stars together, you and I,
For we can fly, we can fly!
Up, Up, and Away – The 5th Dimension
Eight miles high, and when you touch down
You’ll find that it’s stranger than known
Signs in the street, that say where you’re going
Are somewhere just being their own
The city streets are empty now
(The lights don’t shine no more)
And so the songs are way down low
(Turning, turning, turning)
A sound that flows into my mind
(The echoes of the daylight)
Of everything that is alive
(In my blue world)
I turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone
Turn to stone, when you comin’ home
I can’t go on
And you know it’s gettin’ stronger
I can’t last very much longer
Turn to stone
Well, they’ll stone you when you’re trying to be so good
They’ll stone you just like they said they would
They’ll stone you when you’re trying to go home
And they’ll stone you when you’re there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
People, people love me do
I love me because I’m you but
Why do people always call me
Stoned Innocent Frankenstein?
Here come the Law
Gonna break down the door
Gonna carry me away once more
Never, I never
I never want it any more
Gotta get away from this stone-cold floor
Crazy
Stone-cold crazy, you know
I remember when
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space, mm
And when you’re out there without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn’t because I didn’t know enough
I just knew too much, mm
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly
Well, I think I’m going out of my head
Yes, I think I’m going out of my head
Over you
Over you
I want you to want me, I need you so badly
I can’t think of anything but you
(Too busy thinking about my baby) oh, yeah
And I ain’t got time for nothing else
Oh, yeah
All those crazy nights when I cried myself to sleep .
Now melodrama never makes me weep anymore
'cause I haven’t got time for the pain
I haven’t got room for the pain
I haven’t the need for the pain
Not since I’ve known you
A beautiful song by Carly Simon, which I will forever remember for appearing in an aspirin commercial.
One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
We’re gonna find out, pretty mama
What turns on your lights
The full moon is calling, the fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers and moans
You got your demons and you got desires
Well, I got a few of my own
It’s close to midnight
And something evil’s lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between the eyes
You’re paralyzed
I’m just a mean green mother from outer space and I’m bad
I’m just a mean green mother from outer space
And it looks like you been had
Well I saw the thing comin’ out of the sky
It had the one long horn, and one big eye
I commenced to shakin’ and I said “Ooh-eee”
It looks like a purple people eater to me
Old man rhythm is in my shoes
It’s no use to sittin’ and a-singin’ the blues
So be my guest, you got nothin’ to lose
Won’t ya let me take you on a sea cruise?
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Oo-ee, oo-ee baby
Won’t ya let me take you on a sea cruise?
Everybody, listen to me
And return me my ship
I’m your captain, I’m your captain
Though I’m feeling mighty sick
I’ve been lost now, days uncounted
And it’s months since I’ve seen home
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
Or am I all alone?
Well, I’m near the end and I just ain’t got the time
And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home
We are going, heaven knows where we are going,
We’ll know we’re there.
We will get there, heaven knows how we will get there,
We know we will.
Now I’m sittin’ in the middle of nowhere by the side of the road
One of these days I’ll find true love
Learn how to say ‘no’
I know in the past my love didn’t last
As I guess this story shows
Where was my angel then? Only heaven knows
