And let me tell you now, she was groovy.
And I kissed the pretty girl, and I held her tight,

My mind's drifting back to you.

Girl 'cause, I just wanna make you happy
That's all I'm trying to do,
Yes, I just wanna make you happy,
And spend my lifetime with you.

In my mind I see a mirage on the wall,
But unfortunately it's not there at all.
So I guess I'll draw my mirage on the wall,
Then it can be here to see and enjoyed by all.

My mirage, I'll be drawing you soon.
Then all of the beautiful people
That come to our home...
They'll be seeing you too.
My mirage,
I'll be drawing you soon,
My mirage,
I'll be seeing you soon.

Fly blue sky, voices keep calling,
Bidding me welcome.
Why maiden land,
Luring me closer, forbiden land.

And as I'm Standing closer,
Those natives step beyond.

Release the mortal patterns,
My mind I post beyond.

Spinning in circles,
Miracles happen,
As lower life shows me in to my doom,
Spirit will striken,
The end will come soon.

This is termination,
The outcome of your life...

Size is decreasing
Under transparent purple skies;
The life you've chased seen thru my eyes
Was distorted, filled with lies.

Your hopes are bouncing in front of your eyes
As you jump to catch them floating so high,

Bye, bye,

A top comes a-spinning into your life
And you've reached a height

Threatening destruction in a way that we know too well
Sitting on the limb of love with my friends
Sitting here all alone.

Life without malice can you call this bluff
And say without knowing it's hard enough,

Bye, bye,

A top comes a-spinning into your life
And you've reached a height

Life without malice can you call this bluff
And say without knowing it's hard enough,

Bye, bye,

Bye, bye.

Know that the end of my mind is so near,
My mind is just churning and burning with fear.

Why did I in-a-vite it here?

God, why did I in-a-vite it here?

Why did I in-a-vite it here?

God, why did I in-a-vite it here?

Exciting were her eyes
And refreshing was her smile.

So loving was her attitude she maintained all the while.

She reaped in her softness which created a gentle mood.
And if I ever felt hunger, she would hand me a bit of food.

Ah true, she was exciting,
refreshing and loving
and still found a way in which she maintained all the while;
that was her faith,
that was her favorite style,
that was her favorite style.

I look for the sun
in dire need of someone, somewhere,
I look for the sun
in dire need of someone, somewhere.
Words lost in the past
of memories that will never last.

My mind wanders the crowds in a search,
In the search of the one that I feel is my life,
It the crowds.

For me this is the end.

For me this is the end.

For me this is the end.

For me this is the end.

For me this is the end.

For me this is the end.

For me this is the end.

Listen to the clock beat as it ticks out time away,
And listen to the birds' laughter as they live for today,
And listen to the heart beat as it beats our lives away.

These are the things that we hear in our world,
and these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
in the time of our lives.

And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.

How you doing people that passed on yesterday?
Did you meet with justice on your judgement day?

These are the things that we hear in our world,
and these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
in the time of our lives.

And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.

Yes, to us,
without a doubt they're real.

without a doubt they're real.

without a doubt they're real!

Ah, nothing on earth could be so fine.
I think I might have found something,
and I think it might be my love.

Yes, I think I came across something,
and I think she might be my love.

Oh, ---- oh, ---- oh, ----

yes, it must be love.
I've found out its worth, It must be love,
'cause nothing on earth could be so fine;
I'm making you mine.

I think I might have found something,
and I think she might be my love.

Yes, I think I came across something,

Oh, ---- oh, ---- oh, ----

yes, it must be love.
I've found out its worth, It must be love,
'cause nothing on earth could be so fine;
I'm making you mine.

Ah, nothing on earth could be so fine.

Ah, nothing on earth could be so fine.

Ah, nothing on earth could be so fine.

I'm such a lonely boy when I'm not in your arms.
Yes, I'm such a lonely boy when I'm not in your arms.

The only time I hear your voice is on the line,
and then you say, "I hope you're feeling fine baby."
But you know that I'm not!

The only time I hear your voice is on the line,
and then you say, "I hope you're feeling fine baby."
But you know that I'm not!

And that's why.

Real fright's the story of a maddening darkness,
It leaves your hands and your face real tight,
Your mind starts to wander while your body starts shaking,
Your mouth feels dry as your bones start aching.

You want to know the pattern thas has gripped your life,
Your heart starts pounding while you're breathing real fright,
A face chalk white that starts the sight,
Ears hear the sounds of real fright.

Be yourself and live a little,
Don't bother painting your face;
Tomorrow it may rain and colors run,
Better it quench the flowers thirst.

Don't be afraid to live a little,
Don't be afraid of the people that belittle our love,
Oh our love.

Open up your thoughts and listen to others,
Your fellow man may surprise you;
He offers a unique item,

Soul experience, help yourselves to each other.

Don't be afraid to live a little,
Don't be afraid of the people that belittle our love,
Oh our love.

Just be yourself.

Just be yourself.

Oh our love, oh our love.

Fields of sun-blossomed flowers
Ever so gently movin' about

Fields of life-givin' sun
Plant the Earth
And bring the new young in sprout

This is the never-ending story
Of life which goes on
Day in and day out

Mountains of evergreen trees
Standing tall and straight
Like soldiers about

Fields of sun-blossomed flowers
Ever so gently movin' about

Fields of life-givin' sun
Plant the Earth
And bring the new young in sprout

This is the never-ending story
Of life which goes on
Day in and day out

Mountains of evergreen trees
Standing tall and straight
Like soldiers about

Gentle as it may seem
You lose her in a dream
You Gotta learn how to scheme
Or man you've lost the scene

Come here woman

There's a girl for every guy
You can get one if you try
It's not your fault my friend
If you lose her in the end

Come here woman

When a man has a woman
and he doesn't really love her
why does he burn inside
when she starts to love another

It's possession,
It's possession.

It's possession,
It's possession.

It's possession,
It's possession.

Have you heard about the word that's goin' round
(goin' round, goin' round)

Have you heard about the girl who put me down
(put me down, put me down)

Well, she became aware the fact that I was runnin' round
(runnin' round, runnin' round)

And consequently my behavior put me down
(put me down, put me down)

Have you heard about the word that's goin' round
(goin' round, goin' round)

Have you heard about the girl who put me down
(put me down, put me down)

Well, she became aware the fact that I was running round
(runnin' round, runnin' round)

And consequently my behavior put me down
(put me down, put me down)

Stay away from people made from plastic in a mold,
And keep your stamped ideas inside your head untold,
Because I, I, I, baby am protecting you,
Yes, against the kind of things that other people do.
I, baby, am protecting you 'cause I'm in love with you.
So come on baby!

We all want to climb the hill
The unbelievable is going to happen
It will linger in your mind forever
Let this carry you wherever - wherever.

Triggering the unconcious power.

Removing all your inhibitions
Releasing complete freedom of thought
Sensations of ev'ry sense will prepare
With this you will see ev'ry thing.

Triggering the unconscious power.

Triggering the unconscious power.

I say to you
nothin' for now.
Oh, now
we know all,
we know all,
we know all,
we know all!

What the man says is always right
He'll cuff your hands so you can't fight
There is no way of getting around it
He'll lock you up and in your head he'll pound it

Destruction is the only road you're headed for
There isn't any road behind those steel doors
You just can't win

Destruction is the only road you're headed for
There isn't any roads behind those steel doors
You just can't win

You can't win, you can't win
You can't win, you can't win
You can't win

My mind is just churning and burning with fear.

I found me a little butterfly
As blue as the sky
With just a touch of gold
I knew I had to hold
My butterfly fly away with me

Every time I reached for her
She managed to slip away
Takin' my breath away from me
How can I make her stay?
My butterfly, fly away with me, yeah

My heart was beatin' faster
She started to come near
Spread her wings around me
And cast out all my fears
My butterfly, fly away with me, yeah

Now the bright light of her eyes show
She never was leavin' me
Got in me by my efforts to reach her
Leadin' me to be free
My butterfly, fly away with me
(Yeah, yeah, oow)

Butterfly, fly away

Come and have a new day-yeah

Hey, we all know
That the town is around us today

Talking bout the pain that comes after
And what a high price it seems we got to pay for live

Time to share a little love
Come and have a new day yeah

Hey, its time that we're feeling
What has got both talking bout today
Take a look at the part that we're playing
In a hard special way

Time to share all our love
Come and have a new day

Made in a new way
Make it a new day-new day
Made in a new way

Got to have Time to think it over
Need some more time to think it over
Over and over and over and over and over and over and over

Time to share all our love

Can you feel the manmade mist
As it starts to twist your lungs?
Slower than guns

Breathe deep
As you enter sleep
Fell secure it's all around you

Can you see the golden brown
As it circles round your town
Town coming down

Smokin' stacks on industry's backs
In this land of a cigarette pack
Feel secure there all around you

Miles and miles of gasoline fumes
In the air like transparent tombs
Feel secure there all around you

DDT making bugs relax
There in your food like poison tacks
How about that

Eat well there all within you
Town coming down

There's a soldier here today
But she don't bear steel in anywhere
She's like a bow
Seeking a wooden arrow
Pointing the way to love

We all know how we can hate
Just as strong as we could ever love
We can love, we can love
God bless you, God
For Sending me a woman
Pointing the way to love

We gotta love a woman

There's a statue in the square
But the things they hadn't
It ain't fair, it ain't fair, Lord
The things they hadn't

Cause beneath the stone
The greatest Man is all alone
Without a woman to love
Without a woman to shove
Without a woman to point the way to love

We gotta love a woman

Ive been walking a long long long time,

Being there to hear what you might feel about it,
Its not the way you look,
That makes me feel this way,
Just like a blindman with that distant look,
You'll take me where I have to stay,
I couldnt hear the words you were saying cuz my mind was away till i blink back,
Fly high,
On the fact that i would try yeah,
To be something that i was,

Look out people made of stone,
Who should be withering all alone,

Now i feel i should tell you once again,
You have dilivered my love to me,

Never knowing the world without you
Never knowing though ill never doubt you
Never knowing just where you come from
Never knowing youll be someone with you

(chorus)
High on a mountain top
Where only I could see
I hold a love for you
And you would come to find
Once upon my mind
Just a little
The hole in my life

Never knowing how hard I love you
Never knowing if my hearts above you
Never knowing how hard we tried
Never knowing if ill live or die with you

(repeat chorus)

High on a mountain top
The hole in my life
High on a mountain top

Pegs of people line the street
A ball and chain around their feet
Waitin' for a weekend treat
But Easy Rider's got 'em all beat 'cause

[Chorus]
Easy rider, he's a glider
(Easy) Freedom, every day
(Rider) Easy rider, easy glider
Lettin' the wind pay the way
(that's all he ever does)

Freedom!
Freedom!

Puts a rocket in his pocket
At the dawn of day
Needs a goodbye kiss in the mornin', mist
You know the man can't stay.

[Chorus]

solo

(Who'm I talkin' 'bout)
Easy, easy, easy rider
Easy, easy, easy rider

Goin' easy, where you goin'
Gettin' tired of being all alone
Oh, the roads are calling you
Back to where you belong
Oh, ride on!

Talkin' bout easy

Listen to the clock beat as it ticks out time away,
And listen to the birds' laughter as they live for today,
And listen to the heart beat as it beats our lives away.

These are the things that we hear in our world,
And these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
In the time of our lives.

And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.

How you doing people that passed on yesterday?
Did you meet with justice on your judgement day?

These are the things that we hear in our world,
And these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
In the time of our lives.

And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.

Yes, to us,
Without a doubt they're real.

Without a doubt they're real.
Without a doubt they're real!

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, honey
Don't you know that I'm lovin' you

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby.
Don't you know that I'll always be true

Oh, Won't you come with me
And take my hand

Oh, Won't you come with me
And walk this land

Please take my hand

When a man has a woman
and he doesn't really love her
why does he burn inside
when she starts to love another

It's possession,
It's possession.

It's possession,
It's possession.

It's possession,
It's possession.
