Do away with people blowing my mind
Do away with people wasting my precious time
Take me to a simple place
Where I can easily see my face
Baby, baby I can see that you're fine
Know I love you baby, yes I do
Know I love you baby, yes I do

Do away with people laughing at my hair
Do away with people climbing on my precious prayers
Take me to a circus tent
Where I can easily pay my rent
And all the other freaks can share my cares
Know I love you baby, yes I do
Know I love you baby, yes I do

Do away with things that come on obscene
Like hot rods real clean real fine nicotine
Sometimes the price is 65 dollars
Prices like that make a grown man holler
'Specially when it's sold by a kid that's only 15
Know I love you baby, yes I do
Know I love you baby, yes I do

You are the crown of creation.
You are the crown of creation,
And you've got no place to go.

Soon you'll attain the stability you strive for,
In the only way that it's granted:
In a place among the fossils of our time.

In loyalty to their kind
They cannot tolerate our minds.
In loyalty to our kind
We cannot tolerate their obstruction!

Life is change.
How it differs from the rocks.
I've seen their ways too often for my liking.
New worlds to gain.
My life is to survive and be alive
for you.

If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the blood-stained bandit
Oh good shepherd
Feed my sheep
One for Paul
One for Silas
One for to make my heart rejoice
Can't you hear my lambs acallin
Oh good shepherd
Feed my sheep
If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the long-tongue liar
Oh good shepherd
Feed my sheep
If you want to get to heaven
Over on the other shore
Stay out of the way of the gun shot devil
Oh good shepherd
Feed my sheep

Her neon mouth with the blinkers-off smile
Nothing but an electric sign
You could say she has an individual style
She's part of a colorful time

Secrecy of lady-chrome-covered clothes
You wear cause you have no other
But I suppose no one knows
You're my plastic fantastic lover

Her rattlin' cough never shuts off
Is nothin' but a used machine
Her aluminum finish, slightly diminished
Is the best I ever have seen

Cosmetic baby plugged into me
I'd never ever find another
I realize no one's wise
To my plastic fantastic lover

The electrical dust is starting to rust
Her trapezoid thermometer taste
All the red tape is mechanical rape
Of the TV program waste

Data control and IBM
Science is mankind's brother
But all I see is drainin' me
On my plastic fantastic lover

Would you like to know a secret just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next, I don't know who I'm gonna be
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
That's the other side of this life.

Well my whole world's in an uproar, my whole world's upside down
I don"t know where I'm going next, but I'm always bumming around
And that's another side to this life I've been leading
And that's another side to this life

Well I don't know what doing for half the time, I don't know where I'm going
I think I'll get me a sailing boat and sail the Gulf of Mexico
But that's another side of this life I've been leading
And that's another side of this life

Well I think I'll go to Nashville down in Tennesse
The ten cent life I've been leading here gonna be the death of me
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
And that's another side to this life

Would you like to know a secret just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next, I don't know who I'm gonna be
But that's the other side of this life I've been leading
But that's the other side of this life.

Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Hey, I'm dancing down the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet?
Got a revolution, got to revolution

One generation got old
One generation got soul
This generation got no destination to hold
Pick up the cry

Hey, now it's time for you and me
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Come on, now we're marching to the sea
Got a revolution, got to revolution

Who will take it from you?
We will and who are we?

We are volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America

Got a revolution
Whoa, got a revolution

Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Hey, I'm dancing down the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet?
Got a revolution

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head

Won't you try?
Won't you try? (repeat 3 times)

Find a way to need someone,
Find a way to see,
Find a way to need someone,
And the sunshine'll set you free;

Won't you try? With love before we're gone;
Won't you try?
Won't you try?

Saturday afternoon,
When your head is feeling fine,
You can ride inside our car;

Saturday afternoon, Saturday afternoon.

I will give you caps of blue,
and silver sunlight for your hair;
All that soon will be,
is what you mean to see, my love;

Won't you try?
Won't you try?

I do care that you do see!

It's the time to leave my lady;
Yes it is, I know;
Round about and everywhere,
Sunshine instead of snow!

Times can change,
It's what I say is true;
All is true,
I'll come through for you,
I'll come through for you, my love;

Won't you try?
Won't you try?
Won't you try?

Saturday afternoon,
Yellow clouds rising in the noon,
acid, incense and balloons;
Saturday afternoon,
people dancing everywhere,
Loudly shouting "I don't care!"

It's a time for growing,
and a time for knowing love;

Saturday afternnoon,
Saturday afternoon; (Repeat to fade)

Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes
Lord knows I got them old walkin' blues
Up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes
I got them old walkin' blues

Well I feel like blowin' sweet old lonesome horn
Up this morning, all I have is gone
Feel like blowin' sweet lonesome horn
Up this morning, all I had is gone

Gonna leave this town this morning if I have to, have to ride the blinds
I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin'
If I have to ride the blinds
I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin'

Well she've got Elgin movement from her head down, down to her toes
Breaks in a dollar everywhere she goes
She's got Elgin movement from her head down to her toes
Breaks in on a dollar, now, most anywhere she goes

Well I got up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes
Lord knows I got them old walkin' blues
Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes
I got them old walkin' blues
I got them old walkin' blues

The time has come for us to pause,
And think of living as it was,
Into the future we must cross,
Must cross,
I'd like to go with you,
I'd like to go with you,

You say I'm harder than a wall,
A marble shaft about to fall,
I love you dearer than them all,
Them all,
So let me stay with you,
So let me stay with you,

And as we walked into the day,
Skies of blue had turned to gray,
I might have not been clear to say,
To say,
I never looked away,
I never looked away,

And though I'm feelin' you inside,
My life is rolling with the tide,
I'd like to see it be an open ride,
Goin' along with you,
Goin' along with you,

The time we borrowed from ourselves,
Can't stay within a vault to dwell,
When living turns into a lender's will,
I'd like to be with you,
I'd like to be with you,

And as we came out into view,
And there I found myself with you,
When breathing felt like something new,
..thing new,
Goin' along with you,
Yeah, goin' along with you.

In this world I'm living in I see the light
Sins are gone, now I know what is wrong and right
Morning came on slowly pushing back the night
It's good times now that I can see the light
On this road I'm walking on I see my way
Paradise I'm living for each and every day
'Bout the crossroads of the past, nothing more to say
It's good times now but we can see our way
In this sea I'm moving through, feel my life complete
With the one I'm living for time is, oh, so sweet
Feeling us together, living in the bright
It's good times now, we can see the light
In this world I'm living in I see the light
Sins are gone, now I know what is wrong and right
Morning came on slowly pushing back the night
It's good times now that we can see the light

Well, now give me my pistol, man
And three round balls
I'm gonna shoot everybody
That I don't like at all
Like at all, like at all
Like at all, like at all

Gotta .38 special, man and .45 frame
You know the thing don't miss
'Cause I got dead aim
Got dead aim, got dead aim
Got dead aim, got dead aim

Well, the world is a drag
And my friends can't vote
Gonna make me a connection
And score some dope
Go, get high, go, get high
Go, get high, go, get high

(Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady)
Well, nickel is a nickel, I said, dime is a dime
I need a new gal, she won't mind
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate?
The eagle on the dollar says "in God we trust"
You say you want a man
You wanna see that dollar first
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate?
Well, If the river was whiskey, said, I was a duck
You know I'd swim to the bottom
Lord, and never come up
Tell me how long
Well, rocks in the ocean, said, fish in the sea
Knows you mean the world to me
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate?
Well, the hesitation stalker's got them hesitation shoes
You know, Lord, I got them hesitation blues
Tell me how long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate?
Said, can I get you now, how long must I hesitate?

Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes
Lord knows I got them old walkin' blues
Up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes
I got them old walkin' blues

Well I feel like blowin' sweet old lonesome horn
Up this morning, all I have is gone
Feel like blowin' sweet lonesome horn

Well, just because you think you're so pretty
Just because you think you're so hot
Just because you think you've got something
That nobody else has got

You make me spend all my money
Then you laugh and call me old Santa Claus
Well, I'm telling you honey, I'm leaving you
Because, just because

Well, just because you think I'll be lonesome
Just because you think I'll be blue
Just because you think I'll be foolish
Stay at home and wait for you

You made me drop all my girlfriends
Laughed and called me Mr. Santa Claus
Well, I'm telling you, baby, I'm through with you
Because, just because

There'll come a time you'll be lonesome
There'll come a time you'll be blue
When old Santa Claus won't be near you
Pay the bills for you

Though you may say that I am foolish
There just ain't no Santa Claus
I'm telling you, good gal, I'm through with you
Because, just because

Well, I'm telling you, good gal, I'm through with you
Because, just because

(Jorma Kaukonen)
Well, you hope the road you follow,
will lead you to the sea;
And you hope the time allows you,
to start to livin' free;
But when the world is busy,
and the way is hard to see;
When tomorrow comes,
Will you remember?
When the time you've got to wander,
it's slippin' by your side;
And the way you're tryin' to move,
into the future makes you slide,
into corners without exits,
till you try to find a ride;
When tomorrow comes,
Will you remember?
Now don't you know the world don't care,
just what we're livin' through;
Its spinnin' just keeps takin' you for rides;
Don't you know you've gotta keep on fightin' through;
The last frontier is flying deep inside!
Well, the last ship in the harbor,
is sailin' on the tide;
And your papers are in order,
So you'd better get inside;
The broad horizon's ready,
and your world is open wide;
When forever comes,
you'll still remember.

chorus:
I got the riding pneumonia today
Well, the weather's too fine to stay
Now I want to go down to Mexico
Got a feeling we'll be heading that way
By this time tomorrow, who knows where I'll be?
Highway lines keep marking time, riding by the sea
Ain't no concept I can't stop, moving on my way
The future's bright, with eyes of light, leaving Monterey
chorus
Moving in the mountains, sailing through the pines
That lakeside light on summer nights makes you feel like flying
Just passing through the morning dew, nature is a roar
There's motion on the highway, you can see my spirit soar
chorus
Look out of the window, tell me what you see
I hear a storm come calling, reaching after me
Starting to slide on the mercury mile, moving on the side
Well, that spray just paves our way, let your body ride
chorus

In this world I'm living in I see the light
Sins are gone, now I know what is wrong and right
Morning came on slowly pushing back the night
It's good times now that I can see the light
On this road I'm walking on I see my way
Paradise I'm living for each and every day
'Bout the crossroads of the past, nothing more to say
It's good times now but we can see our way
In this sea I'm moving through, feel my life complete
With the one I'm living for time is, oh, so sweet
Feeling us together, living in the bright
It's good times now, we can see the light
In this world I'm living in I see the light
Sins are gone, now I know what is wrong and right
Morning came on slowly pushing back the night
It's good times now that we can see the light

(Jorma Kaukonen)
I feel your shimmering eyes into my soul
And your life is all around my time, now don't you know?
Every time your sunrise drives my night away
It makes my lifetime soar in circles
Like the swallows wheeling in the day
Now our time can start to run
The hourglass has just begun
Life was meant for having fun
As we were meant to be
chorus:
I've been living blind in one-eyed land
Among those kings I thought were grand
Till time had opened up my eyes
And there I found, to my surprise
That life without you
Was empty as a nest in winter light
Strolling in the garden
Sunshine on a California day
With you by my side
The tears we've cried have dried and gone away
The darkness of the northland
In wintertime has all began to run
Through the deltas of a passing sorrow
Now that you and I are really one
Now we're flying down the way
Where all our hopes have time to stay
And we can marvel at the time
That floats us in its path
chorus (x2)

(Jorma Kaukonen)
Winter's been a long, long time
Summer's here again
I've been trying to make you mine
Since I don't know when
Way your soul can let you fly
Makes me love you more
Spirit flowing into mine
What I'm living for
So don't hold back little baby
When I reach out to you
I'm doing my best to bring you 'round
Swing you into view
So I can better see your face
And you can look at mine
And we can feel each other move
Together down the line
One more time I'm asking you
Let this moment be
All our lives can intertwine
Till eternity
Please don't let your pride run free
Make the past go by
There's a place out there for us
If we only try
With what we got together now
Rest ain't hard to do
You can't see it ain't no jive
All my love for you

(Jorma Kaukonen)
I've waited all my lifetime for a moment like today
Our love is really real and really here to stay
And now I know what's happening to start anew
I've been living lately just because of you
People on the sidewalks of the city pass me by
They don't know how high we fly
Now I know I've found, winter all around
It fills the sounds of smiling from the heavens to the ground
Takes a long time to be free, I want you there with me
Don't wanna live my life away without you
That kind of living now just won't do
There's been too much wasted time feeling blue
In the morning when you rise that sparkle in your eyes
Reminds me that I'm living just for you
Don't wanna live my life away without you
That kind of living now just won't do
There's been too much wasted time feeling blue
In the morning when we rise that sparkle in your eyes
Reminds me that I'm living just for you
And in the morning when we rise that sparkle in your eyes
Reminds me that I'm living just for you

Well, on this morning
Saw them coming across fields far away
Said I've been looking all night long
Come for you today

I looked up all around
[Incomprehensible] and I don't know
Lots of things I got to do
So I don't wanna go

Well, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
Lots of things I got to do
Living is much too slow

This time when the demon calls
Gonna look the other way
See the clock keeps moving
There's too much left to say

The moon is sinking slowly in
The raven's flying low
Lots of things I got to do
So I don't wanna go

Well, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
Lots of things I got to do
Living is much too slow

The singing rain guard calls to me
Tells me how to fly
Angel slips between the trees
Reaches for the sky

Imagination spins me 'round
Wind begins to blow
Lots of things I got to do
I don't wanna go

Well, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
Lots of things I got to do
Living is much too slow

Morning rises slowly
And reaches in the sky
The angel from the forest
Just seemed to pass me by

[Incomprehensible]
Life began to show
There are lots of things I got to do
So I don't wanna go

Well, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
I got, baby, lots to do
Living is much too slow

Flowers today bloomin' by the pathway
Linin' the edge of tomorrow's grave
Bright shinin' way, livin' in the shadows
Tryin' to be the master of tomorrow's slave

Down in the mine, circled 'round a diamond
Serpent of your expectations sleeps a nervous dream
Circled so fine like a velvet palace
Whiles away the passing hours, not being what he seems

Then he creeps into the night speeding up like fire flight
How he moves into the forest floor
Send away the pace of time, leave behind the lonely mine
And the diamond silent on the floor

We cannot stay by the crystal mountain
The serpent of dreams has left his shadow lair
The diamond remains brilliant in its cavern
No one to see and no one left to care

The serpent's friends have come and gone
Down the hills, they're movin' on
Through the lakes and forests and the dale

They will find tomorrow's rise
Brings them all the bluest skies
Frees the lonesome banshee and his wail

Flowers today bloomin' by the pathway
Linin' the edge of tomorrow's grave
Bright shinin' way, livin' in the shadows
Tryin' to be the master of tomorrow's slave
Tryin' to be the master of tomorrow's slave

Sure a lot smaller everyday
Wonder why we feel this way
You don't know that I've got nothing left to say

I've been blown across the water
Like a ship ain't got no sail
That ain't no way to feel

I feel that longing loud and clear
Dead end streets and I lay here
When you're flying you've got nothing left to fear

'Less you're gonna cross the water
Like a ship ain't got no sail
That ain't no way to feel

Winter wind keeps blowing through the trees
But life keeps breathing gaily as you please
Hey now, silver birches lying by the road
Branches lined against the winter snow

We left the shelter yesterday
After we had played some way
You can find that I've got nothing left to say

'Less you're gonna cross the water
Like a ship ain't got no sail
That ain't no way to feel

I've been blown cross the water
Like a ship ain't got no sail
That ain't no way to feel

Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes
Lord knows I got them old walkin' blues
Up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes
I got them old walkin' blues

Well I feel like blowin' sweet old lonesome horn
Up this morning, all I have is gone
Feel like blowin' sweet lonesome horn
Up this morning, all I had is gone

Gonna leave this town this morning if I have to, have to ride the blinds
I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin'
If I have to ride the blinds
I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin'

Well she've got Elgin movement from her head down, down to her toes
Breaks in a dollar everywhere she goes
She's got Elgin movement from her head down to her toes
Breaks in on a dollar, now, most anywhere she goes

Well I got up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes
Lord knows I got them old walkin' blues
Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes
I got them old walkin' blues
I got them old walkin' blues
I got them old walkin' blues

Well, now give me my pistol, man
And three round balls
I'm gonna shoot everybody
That I don't like at all
Like at all, like at all
Like at all, like at all

Gotta .38 special, man and .45 frame
You know the thing don't miss
'Cause I got dead aim
Got dead aim, got dead aim
Got dead aim, got dead aim

Well, the world is a drag
And my friends can't vote
Gonna make me a connection
And score some dope
Go, get high, go, get high
Go, get high, go, get high

Well now keep on truckin' mama, truckin' my blues away
Keep on truckin' mama, truckin' my blues away
Here you come mama big as sin, tell what you been doin' by the shape you're in
So keep on truckin' mama, truckin' my blues away
If you been doin' what I think you been doin' baby, can't do that 'round here
You been doin' what I think you been doin' baby, can't do that 'round here
Here you come mam big as hell, tell what you been doin' by way you smell
So keep on truckin' mama, truckin' my blues away
What's that smell like fish pretty baby, I really would like to know
Tell me What's that smell like fish oh mama, I really would like to know
That ain't puddin' baby ain't no pie, it's the stuff that I got you by
So keep on truckin' mama, truckin' my blues away
Now yes you gotta leave this mornin', get your
Yas yas
Outta my door
Now yes you gotta leave this mornin', get your yas yas outta my door
Ashes to ashes mama, dust to dust, what-cha gonna do when that damn thing rusts
So keep on truckin' mama, truckin' my blues aw

I used to think, wherever I wandered,
Nothing would ever, ever come to woe;
But that's all gone now and I don't worry;
What's the future for me and my friends;
Well, I just don't know.
Cause living is with us until it is gone;
Once it has left us, the believers don't know;
But I'm still alive now and I don't worry;
When I go down, don't let me go slow!
If love was a word that no one could follow;
It was a message that was written in air;
I'd rather be lost now, than following nothing;
Than feeling and thinking, unable to care.

Daily things fall off like water,
falling down like summer rain;
We see each other in confusion;
Wonder why we came today.
Sittin' lonely in our prison,
lookin' out for ways to sail;
What we'd be without confusion,
in our less uncommon way.
Through your hair across my eyes,
the twilight shafts in soft surprise;
Reminds me once again how nice,
it is to be with you.

In your arms, in your eyes
I can see the Paris lights
And the warm Italian nights
Seems like summertime just flies

Through so many skies we've flown
So many lands we've come to know
And we watch our love just grow
Till the winter brings us home

No time gives us reasons for why it just goes by
And no man can stop the seasons
But so many men will try

We will travel thes ancient lands
And our minds will learn to fly
We will hear all the music of man
Learn to love before we die

In these lands ruled by kings
The enchanted princess sings
And all the fairy tales she knew
The seet lies we thought were true

But the castles on the Rhein
Never seem to mind the time
That will take them slowly back
Into history's memorized lines

Wooden shoes and tulips in Holland
English guards with medieval swords
Conquistadors and Spanish galleons
Vikings sailing the mountain fjords

We will travel these ancient lands
And our minds will learn to fly
We will hear all the music of man
Learn to love before we die

In your arms, in your eyes
I can see the Paris lights
And the warm Italian nights
Semms like summertime just flies

(by G. Slick)

Oh I know they say someday time will show me
How to be so cool someday but what about right now
Please someone tell me what do I do while I'm waiting
Waiting to be so cool--someday

I know I'm not alone you know just how I feel
We both know the rules but who really knows
How to play this game?
No one will always win good losers hide the pain
They say everything's fine
No one will hear them complain

But behind those smiles, so much purple rain
It's a wonder anybody ever comes out sane but they do
And freedom it's all up to you
When you're by yourself you get that silent noise
Inside your mind all the party boys trying to fill up
All the empty holes don't let one be her soul

Freedom now you're on your own
Freedom or does it really mean you're just all alone
Freedom either way it's gonna take you home
It just takes you by the hand and says
Now it's time to grow

So my friend you're gonna be alright
Seems like it's all uphill
But then that's the only way to get high
Someday your soul is gonna fly
But don't look back 'cause that's a waste of time
And right now's the time for you to look inside
And you'll see love--love has never gone away

Freedom I've been standing still so long
Freedom I almost forgot you had a song
Freedom shine your light and let us begin
Just take me in our arms I wanna be free again

(by J. Kaukonen)

Well I heard the news just the other day
Now I feel there's something I must say
Well the darkness comes too often
This time next year I'll build my coffin
Made out of lead so X-rays cannot see
We gotta be free
Political men they burn their lives out talkin'
We people of the earth just keep on walkin'
Well we don't know what to say
Only live our lives as slaves
All we can do is race on to the grave
Well we gotta get away
Well they're much too old to care about the future
They're sewing up the past with shining sutures
It's immortality they crave
Their days are done so now they're brave
Their lives will live in books for fools and slaves
We gotta get away

(by P. Kantner, M. Balin)

And then my whole world turned kind of crazy
My whole world came apart
Found my way to Madeleine Street
Found my lover and I found my heart
Found my lover and I found my heart
Down in Nicaragua in a little music bar
Where all the people were dancin' All the people're so right
All the people makin' love long into the wartime night

Goin' down to Madeleine Street
I want to be there I want to be there
Sweet sweet Madeleine Street
I love to be there

For all of us who like to stay out late at the cafe
And all of us who do not want to go to bed
And everybody here who needs a light for the night
As an insulation against the darkness

Let's go down to Madeleine Street
Talk about Tennessee Williams and be so cool
Or fall in love on Madeleine Street
Love is not for fools

I took an Airplane named Desire
I sat next to Marlon Brando too
There's a method to this madness
I got off 'n he got off too
A little young a little crazy
A little love to light your way lady
A little darkside forbidden pleasure
A little love is what Madeleine treasures

What excites you anymore? Madeleine Street!
What do you tremble for? Madeleine Street!
Come on down there's a party goin' on
Madeleine goes on and on and on and on
Let's go down to Madeleine Street
I want to be there I want to be there
Sweet sweet Madeleine Street
I love to be there

(by G. Slick)

Desire--The feeling so clear
It sings in everything you hear
Desire--The feeling you never lose
It's always something new
And it's waiting for you to follow through

We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance

Now is the time, the time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine

Desire--Follows and leads the way
Like night follows day
Desire--It's right before your eyes
No quesitons no surprise
It's been waiting so long for you to decide

We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance

Now is the time, time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine

All the fantasies we keepo inside
We'd love to live it but we don't know how
Too late for yesterday, too early for tomorrow
That means it's gotta be now

We all have a song, life is the dance
And right or wrong we will all take the chance

Now is the time, time is right
We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight
This is the night, tonight is the time
Bring the dream to life and let it shine

This is the song, now is the time
Alone the love is gone, together it's yours and mine
This is the night, this is the shong
Feel the love again it's where we belong

(by G. Slick)

He lives all alone but the bamboo forest knows him
Now his land is taken by man he's got nowhere left to go
When he used to roam through all of China's mountains
It was his home--the only place he knows

He was born on the mountain's Eastern side
Where the sun brings the morning to the sky
In the snow the human hunters hide
A shot is heard but no one hears him cry

Oh Panda Bear--my gentle friend
I don't want to say goodby
Oh Panda Bear--when will the killing end
When will we see the light?

He can feel the night, the last sunset is in his eyes
They will carry him away, take his beauty for their prize
Ah, but hunger would have come when the bamboo forest died

Oh Panda Bear--you can't seem to win
No matter how hard you try
Oh Panda Bear--my gentle friend
I don't want to say goodbye

Now his body lies on the mountain's Western side
He was sold to a man whose money has no pride
Shining fur traded for gold but the price is too high
His kind is almost gone He wants to survive

He was born on the mountain's Eastern side
Where the sun brings the morning to the sky
If we will try to share that morning light
We will find that we all have the right to life

Oh Panda Bear--my gentle friend
I don't want to say goodbye
Oh Panda Bear--when will the killing end
When will we get it right?
Panda

I love Planes Jet Aircraft
I love Planes Jet Aircraft

He was just a little boy and he sat there in his school
And the little girl in the very next chair she thought he was so cool
And she watched him draw and draw Planes and wings and flying things
Even during tests he'd keep on drawing
And his mother didn't want him and his father was always working so he
Just set his head to the center of the sky and dreamed of

FLYING at first like a leaf floating in the air
Now like an eagle soaring there
FLYING Great roaring engines now will lift my wings
Rockets now and spacecraft to the center of the sky

I'm getting ready for a great leap forward Ready for a leap in the pool
Ready to touch the stars again Ready to go back to school
Puttin' the pieces together Put on your wings and come with me and
Fly fly fly to the center of the sky let's go Flying

I love Planes Experimental Aircraft
I love Planes Jet Jet Jet Aircraft
Breaking through The sound barrier
Into Into the Light

And the little boy is still like a little boy and he met another
little girl and they made another little boy
And the new little guy still loves planes and flying things
And both his mother and father love him and
Hold him and hug him whenever he needs it and
Soon will send him lovingly to the center of the sky
and teach him

Flying and Dreaming and Visions True Flying
I love Planes Jet Aircraft
I love Planes Sensual Aircraft

People of the world together
Join to serve the common cause
So it feeds us all forever
See to it that it's now yours

Forward without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be
When starving or when eating
It's forward not forgetting our solidarity

Black or white or brown or yellow
Leave your old disputes behind
Once you start talking to your fellow men
You'll soon be of one mind

If we want to make this certain
We'll need you and your support
It's yourselves you'll be deserting
If you rat on your own sort

Forward without forgetting
Where our strenght can be seen now to be
When starving or when eating
It's forward not forgetting our solidarity

All the gang of those who rule us
Hope our quarrels never stop
Helping them to split and fool us
Just so they can remain on top

Forward without forgetting
Till the concrete question is hurled
When Starving or when eating

Whose tomorrow
Is tomorrow
And whose world
Is the world
Solidarity

The Summer Of Love was something special
We were so young and so free
The Summer Of Love that I was a part of
We had so many dreams
And even a few of them came true it seems

I still believe in all the music, whoa, and it's still playing
I still believe in all the words, yeah, I'm still saying
I still believe in all the people, ooh, they were really great
And I get to thinking back to where we all once were

The Summer Of Love had special people
Everybody was together so it seemed
The Summer Of Love had lots of changes going down
Looking back's like yesterday
And you can say it all was just a dream

I still remember all the good times
Boy, let me tell ya we sure had a lotta them
I still remember the world was changing all around us
Oh I feel like we could do it all again

The Summer Of Love was just the beginning
That's when the light started breaking through
The Summer Of Love is just a memory now
But even though those times are gone
The Spirit still goes on in me and you

I still believe in all the music, whoa, and it's still playing
I still believe in all the words, yeah, I'm still saying
I still believe in all the people, ooh, they were really great
And I get to thinking back to where we all once were

The Summer Of Love was something special
We were so young and so free
The Summer Of Love that I was a part of
We had so many dreams
And even a few of them came true it seems

Mmmm, that Summer of Love
Yeah, that Summer of Love
Sixty-seven was heaven

WE CAN BE ONE WORLD WE WILL BE ONE WORLD
In the Jungles of the Mountain Young Nora loves the mountain
And the Mountain feeds the people and the Wheel keeps on turnin' REVOLUTION!

And the Wheel keeps on rollin' firmly toward Tomorrow
And the Mountain speaks clearly to the People in the Streets
And they sit and watch the Motion watch it rollin' by
Some climb aboard and roll into the Future EVOLUTION!

AND THE WHEEL KEEPS ON TURNIN'
IT TURNS AND ROLLS FOREVER
THE WHEEL IS LIFE AND CHILDREN AND IT
GOES ON FOREVER AND IT'S ROLL ROLL ROLL

WE WILL BE ONE COUNTRY WE WILL BE ONE WORLD
WE CAN BE ONE WORLD

I dreamt I was in Love again with the Lady of the Mountain
The Lighthouse Keeper's daughter the Seer of Visions and I
Smiled at the pain of our innocent past
Of Love on the wheel in the Circle at the heart of DEVOTION!

And the Wind from the Mountain blew across our love affair
And awakened the heart to the Roll of the Wheel
And the Night grew still and no wind was blowin'
I know this was the hour LIBERATION!

AND THE WHEEL KEEPS ON TURNIN'
IT WON'T GO AWAY
IT WILL NOT BE DENIED AND IT
GOES ON FOREVER AND IT'S

ROLL ROLL ROLL THE CIRCLE IS UNBROKEN
WE WILL BE ONE WORLD WE CAN BE ONE WORLD
WE WILL SEE ONE WORLD

Dreams don't die they don't wave goodbye
Unless you let them go and watch them die in fury

"Freedom is like Wheat it must be planted softly
And watered everyday and it must be protected till it
multiplies and fills the mouth of the Wind
And the hunger of All becomes invincible"

Ringing from the Mountain Fire from the Mountain
In the heart of the Volcano the Future is born

WE WILL BE ONE WORLD
AND IT GOES ON FOREVER
ROLLING TOWARD TOMORROW IN THE
STREETS OF FOREVER AND IT'S
ROLL ROLL ROLL THE FUTURE IS UNSPOKEN
AND THE WHEEL KEEPS ON ROLLING TO ONE WORLD
WE WILL BE ONE WORLD
WE CAN SEE ONE WORLD WE WILL BE ONE WORLD

I opened the door and I
found I was looking at danger
It's been too many years but we're
hiding our faces like strangers
She says that she's got to go
but there ain't no way
I'm letting her walk while
there's something to say

It's been too many years
to watch our hearts die this way

She's feeling a time for a
seasonal change and she's yearning
to shake the trees of our love in the streets
where the leaves are for burning
All things on this earth
were made for the dying
a look in my soul says
it just ain't no use trying

It's been too many years
to watch our hearts die this way

In an unwritten time I thought that
life was for sharing
and living together was simply
a matter of caring
But things did not work out like I planned
and
Alienation has left me here damned

It's been too many years
to watch our hearts die this way

(by S. Porcaro, D. Paich)

Take the night
When you've got a feeling
When you're trying to forget
The day you've been through
Is it right to keep your affection
While a desperate attempt is make to get through

Could it be a miracle
Could it be what the dream is really MADE of
Who can say when and where it will
But our hearts will decide When you find true love

There is love
That lurks in the shadows
There is love that pulls up beside you
And opens the door
There's the one that sneaks up behind you
And it stays until the moment
That you're needing more

Could it be a miracle
Could it be what the dream is really made of
Who can say when and where it will
But our hearts will decide When you find true love
