It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Singing
Our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
Everybody’s talking about
John and Yoko, Timmy Leary, Rosemary
Tommy Smothers, Bobby Dylan, Tommy Cooper
Derek Taylor, Norman Mailer, Allen Ginsberg, Hare Krishna
Hare Hare Krishna
All we are saying is give peace a chance
Timothy Leary’s dead.
No, no, no, no, he’s outside, looking in.
He’ll fly his astral plane,
Takes you trips around the bay,
Brings you back the same day,
Timothy Leary,
Timothy Leary…
Late one night when we were all in bed
Ol’ Mother O’leary left a lantern in the shed
And when the cow kicked it over
She winked her eye and said,
“There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight”
FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky
I’ll be where the eagle’s flying higher and higher
Gonna be a man in motion
All I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where the future’s lying
St. Elmo’s fire
I am the god of hell fire and I bring you*
Fire
I’ll take you to burn
Fire
I’ll take you to learn
I’ll see you burn!
Actually, the first line should be in size 7 bold italics, but I’m feeling restrained this evening.
To my surprise, one hundred stories high
People getting loose y’all, getting down on the roof
Folks are screaming, out of control
It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Get on up, on the floor,
'Cause were gonna boogie oogie oogie
'Till you just can’t boogie no more.
Ah boogie, boogie no more,
You can’t boogie no more.
Ah boogie, boogie no more,
Listen to the music…
Girl, to be with you is my favorite thing, yeah
Uh huh
And I can’t wait til I see you again,
Yeah, yeah, ah ha ah ha
I want to put on my my my my my
Boogie shoes
Just to boogie with you, yeah
I want to put on my my my my my
Boogie shoes just to boogie with you, uh huh
I took my baby to the drive-in show,
She turned the speaker down,
And then she turned on the radio,
I watched a silent movie, diggin’ funky sound,
She’s got the boogie fever,
She likes to boogie down,
Boogie fever,
I think it’s going around.
You’re contagious, touch me baby, give me what you got
(And then a man said) sexy lady drive me crazy, drive me wild
(And I just can’t believe this shit)
Toucha toucha toucha touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me chill me fulfill me
Creature of the night.
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving
Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight
Dare you trust the music of the night?
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, it’s just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come through
Dream along with me, I’m on my way to a star
Come along, come along, leave your worries where they are
Up and beyond the sky, watchin’ the world roll by
Sharin’ a kiss, a sigh, just use your imagination!
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and now your charms
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream
Every night I hope and pray,
A dream lover will come my way.
A girl to hold in my arms,
And know the magic of her charms.
'Cause I want–
A girl–
To call–
My own.
I want a dream lover,
So I don’t have to dream alone.
I see the headlights
Shining on the wall
It seems, I’ve got a visitor
Who is kind enough to call
And I hope and pray, everyday
I hope and pray, it’s you
I thought I heard some footsteps
On the floor
And tell me, am I dreaming
Or is someone at the door?
And I hope and pray, everyday
I hope and pray, it’s you
