It seems like only yesterday
when left hand chords played
an euphonic melody
a m e l o d y . .
of the way things used to be
of flights of fancy
on flower ships
and acid trips
illusions of innocence
And the best we could have been
didn’t seem to matter
all that much
and the beauty in all that
w a s . .
it just was . !
Joplin sang
and no one since
has mastered the mystery of Zeppelin
Floyds were pink
and punk was in
we were made
to dream, dreams
by any means
of black magic women
and gypsy queens
Star spangled banners
dancing in a purple haze
On a Stairway to Heaven
a n d i t f e l t g o o d
standing on the darkside of the moon removing yet another brick in the wall
of our own self destruction
Fools rushed in where angels feared
Jimmi played
what no one dared
Jack flash jumped..
to a P-funk funk
aboard the mother ship
Black Sabbath played
like Jimmi prayed
on a mushroom trip
half wild
half voodoo child
It was eyesight to the blind
Visions of a promised land
on top of mountain tops
tears of rage
and long black veils swayed
to strains and sweet refrains
as electric arias permeated the air
the messiah came
and again
we crucified him
I often wonder if still we hear
Izabella call
her Spanish Castle Magic
as now we sail
this sea of madness
aboard these wooden ships
What a magical mystery tour it was . !
Liverpool Lads
fleeting Fads
strawberry fields
gypsy suns and rainbows
incense and peppermint
crystal spiders
blue eyed soul
psychedelic funk
Rock and roll
Bad moon rising
over Kosmic blues
dark star shining
put a spell on you
T h e n . .
