So you want to be a rock and roll star? Then listen now to what I say Just get an electric guitar Then take some time and learn how to play And with your hair swung right And your pants too tight It's gonna be all right Then it's time to go downtown Where the agent man won't let you down Sell your soul to the company Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware And in a week or two If you make the charts The girls'll tear you apart The price you paid for your riches and fame Was it all a strange game? You're a little insane The money, the fame, and the public acclaim Don't forget who you are You're a rock and roll star |

I think I'm goin' back To the things I learned so well in my youth I think I'm returning to Those days when I was young enough to know the truth Now there are no games To only pass the time No more electric trains No more trees to climb But thinking young and growing older is no sin And I can play the game of life to win I can recall a time When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend Now I think I've got A lot more than just my toys to lend Now there's more to do Than watch my sailboat glide But every day can be A magic carpet ride A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back La la la la la, etc. Now there's more to do Than watch my sailboat glide But every day can be A magic carpet ride A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back La la la la, etc. |

Oh, the summer time is coming And the leaves are sweetly turning And the wild mountain thyme Blooms across the purple heather Will you go, lassie, go If you will not go with me I will surely find another To pull wild mountain thyme All across the purple heather Will you go, lassie, go And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All across the purple heather Will you go, lassie, go And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All across the purple heather Will you go, lassie, go |

Nothing was delivered And I tell this truth to you Not out of spite or anger But, simply because it's true Now you must provide some answers For what you sell has not been received And the sooner you come up with them The sooner you can leave Nothing is better, nothing is best Take care of your health and get plenty of rest Nothing was delivered Just what you had in mind When you made everybody pay Now I hope you won't object to this Giving back all of what you owe And the sooner you come up with them The sooner you can leave Nothing is better, nothing is best Take care of your health and get plenty of rest Nothing was delivered But I can't say I sympathise With what your fate is going to be Yes, for telling all those lies No, nothing was delivered Yes, and someone must explain That as long as it takes to do this Then that's how long you'll remain Nothing is better, nothing is best Take care of your health and get plenty of rest |

Far between sundown’s finish and midnight’s broken toll We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing As majestic bells of bolts, struck shadows in the sounds Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing Flashing for the warriors, whose strength is not to fight Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight And for each and every underdog soldier in the night We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing Even though a cloud’s white curtain in a far off corner flashed And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting Starry eyed and laughing, as I recall when we were caught Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended And we listened one last time, and we watched with one last look Spellbound and swallowed till the tolling ended Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed For the countless confused, accused, misused, srung-out ones and worse And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing |

Sun warm on my face, I hear you
Down below movin' slow And it's morning Take my time this morning, no hurry To learn to kill and take the will From unknown faces Today was the day for action Leave my bed to kill instead Why should it happen? |

I come and stand at every door But no one hears my silent prayer I knock and yet remain unseen For I am dead, for I am dead I'm only seven although I died In Hiroshima long ago I'm seven now as I was then When children die they do not grow My hair was scorched by swirling flame My eyes grew dim my eyes grew blind Death came and turned my bones to dust And that was scattered by the wind I need no fruit I need no rice I need no sweets nor even bread I ask for nothing for myself For I am dead, for I am dead All that I ask for is for peace You fight today, you fight today So that the children of this world May live and grow and laugh and play |

Sitting all alone now I took my ticket to ride Just a matter of time now Til i'll be up in the sky. Coming up on me now I'm king for a night What's it gonna be now? How willful things are building insight Do you think it's really the trip that you seek? I've got my doubts it's happened to me. Artificial energy Is racing in my mind I've got a strange feeling I'm going to die before my time Cause i'm coming down off amphetamines And i'm in jail 'cause i killed the queen. |

The sky's a raven marching
Band black blizzard blowing across the land Come darling take my hand I'm whiskey poured into the sand Star blossoms bloom the night Falling now burning fire bright Come darling take my hand I'm whiskey poured into the sand The silver tracks lie long and straight Perfect means for my escape Come darling take my hand I'm whiskey poured into the sand |

Clouds so swift Rain won't lift Gate won't close Railings froze Get your mind off wintertime You ain't goin nowhere Whoo-ee ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, Oh are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair I don't care How many letters they send Morning came and morning went Pack up your money Pick up your tent You ain't goin nowhere Whoo-ee ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, Oh are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair Buy me a flute And a gun that shoots Tailgates and substitutes Strap yourself To a tree with roots You ain't goin nowhere Whoo-ee ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, Oh are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair Now Genghis Kahn He could not keep All his kings Supplied with sleep We'll climb that hill no matter how steep When we get up to it Whoo-ee ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, Oh are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair |

I think that maybe I'm dreaming
I smell cinnamon and spices I hear music everywhere All around kaleidoscope of colour I think that maybe I'm dreaming Maids pass gracefully in laughter Wine colored flowers in their hair Flags call from lands I've never been to I think that maybe I'm dreaming Sun flash on a soda prism Bright jewels on the ladies flashing Eyes catch on a shiny prism Hear ye the crying of the vendors Fruit for sale, wax candles for to burn Fires flare, soon it will be nightfall I think that maybe I'm dreaming I think that maybe I'm dreaming I think that maybe I'm dreaming |

Change is now, change is now
Things that seemed to be solid are not All is now, all is now The time that we have to live Gather all that we can Keep in harmony with love's sweet plan Truth is real, truth is real That which is not real does not exist In and out roundabout Dance to the day when fear it is gone Gather all that we can Keep in harmony with love's sweet plan Change is now, change is now Things that seemed to be solid are not In and out roundabout Dance to the day when fear it is gone Fear it is gone Fear it is gone |

Have you seen her face? With her eyes reflect The colors in the sky On one familiar place To be swept into Whenever she's close by Makes me wonder why Run by, don't turn back Can't hide from the look in her eye Must be the way she walks A style made up to capture all ahe needs No time to spend on this talk If your luck runs dry She might see you tonight Everything inside (in sight???) Run by, don't turn back Can't hide from the look in her eye Run by, don't turn back Can't hide from the look in her eye You'll find you're locked in her spell All the sights and sounds Your senses will be found And only time will tell How much love can be To wait so patiently Wait and see Run by, don't turn back Can't hide from the look in her eye |

E C#m Abm Crimson flames tied through my ears A B E Rollin' high and mighty traps E C#m Abm Pounced with fire on flaming roads A B Using ideas as my maps C#m Abm "We'll meet on edges, soon," said I A B Proud 'neath heated brow. E A E Ah, but I was so much older then, A B E (intro riff twice) I'm younger than that now. Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth "Rip down all hate," I screamed Lies that life is black and white Spoke from my skull. I dreamed Romantic facts [flanks] of musketeers Foundationed deep, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, bI'm younger than that now. [The next two verses were left out by The Byrds] Girls' faces formed the forward path From phony jealousy To memorizing politics Of ancient history Flung down by corpse evangelists Unthought of, though, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. A self-ordained professor's tongue Too serious to fool Spouted out that liberty Is just equality in school "Equality," I spoke the word As if a wedding vow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. [The Byrds pick it up here] In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing not that I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preach My pathway led [Sisters fled] by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. [12-string guitar solo followed by the refrain] Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and bad, I define these terms Quite clear, no doubt, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. |

Standing in the airport I am waiting for a plane
Goin' east to London, want to be back there again It's the right time of year, all the trees are autumn brown But I really only want to get to you Sitting by the window, watching ocean going by Seems I should be with you but how fast can this thing fly Hey how it seems like an eternity All the time it took me trying to get to you Oh, that's a little better Oh, that's a little better Oh, that's a little better Oh, that's a little better Standing in the airport I am getting off the plane Glad to be in London even though it's pouring rain It's a bright sunny day when I see you run my way But it took me twenty years to get to you It's a bright sunny day when I see you run my way But it took me twenty years to get to you Oh, that's a little better Oh, that's a little better Oh, that's a little better Oh, that's a little better |

I crashed in the jungle while tryin to keep a date With my little girl who was back in the states I was stranded in the jungle afraid and alone Tryin to figure a way to get a message back home But how was I to know there was a record jump my plane Had been picked up and spotted my girl in lovers lane And meanwhile, back in the states CHORUS: Baby, baby, let's make romance You know your old time lover hasn't got a chance He's stranded in the jungle flat as he can be So come on pretty baby just you and me Meanwhile back in the jungle The boys in the jungle had me on the run When something heavy hit me like an atomic bomb When I woke up and my head started to clear I had a strange feeling I was with cooking gear I smelled something cookin and I looked to see That's when; I found out they was a cookin me Great Cuckoo let me outta her Meanwhile back in the states CHORUS I jumped outta the pot and finally got away Frantic and worried about what my baby would say So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim But my chance of survival was gettin mighty slim So I thumbed down a whale who was headin my way And I reached the states in bout a half a day And when I got to lovers lane I was almost dead When my soul was gone, here's what I said Baby, baby, your man is no good Baby, baby, he should've understood You can trust me as long as can be So come back pretty baby where you used to be Cause I love you, cause I love you Cause I love you, cause I love you Cause I love you, |

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. Nowhere is there warmth to be found Among those afraid of losing their ground Rain gray town known for its sound In places small faces unbound Round the squares huddled in storms Some laughing some just shapeless forms Sidewalk scenes and black limousines Some living some standing alone |

I see you Under there behind your hair Everywhere, I see you I see you Turned on eyes can't tell lies Empathise, I see you Warm sliding sun through the cave of your hair Wind washing fields kind of space living there I see you I know you Met before, seventh floor First world war, I know you Who lives there? Tell old fair I'm aware That she cares, who lives there? Green specks bright spiralling out in the sky Catch my mind, turn my head, have to look, don't know why Who lives there? We thought how For a while they just smile Just a silent thought I see you Sun is there behind your hair Everywhere, I see you I see you |

Fallin' free, me and you
Happenin' so graciously You can't hurry natural harmony Feel so free, wider than me Seems just like the day of birth Our first awakening to this earth Dancing through the streets side by side Head thrown back, arms open wide Going home, almost gone Merging with a grain of sand Try hard to catch us if you can Dancing through the streets side by side Head thrown back, arms open wide |
