Maybe I should announce it, should I? Memory of a free festival. The Children of the summers end Gathered in the dampened grass We played Our songs and felt the London sky Resting on our hands It was Gods land It was ragged and naive It was Heaven Touch, We touched the very soul Of holding each and every life We claimed the very source of joy ran through It didnt, but it seemed that way I kissed a lot of people that day Oh, to capture just one drop of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon To paint that love upon a white balloon And fly it from the topest top of all the tops That man has pushed beyond his brain Satori must be something just the same We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes And saw machines of every shape and size We talked with tall Venusians passing through And Peter tried to climb aboard but the Captain shook his head And away they soared Climbing through the ivory vibrant cloud Someone passed some bliss among the crowd And We walked back to the road, unchained The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party The Sun Machine is coming down, and were gonna have a party

We passed upon the stair We spoke of was and when Although I wasnt there He said I was his friend Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes, I thought you died alone A long long time ago Oh no, not me I never lost control Youre face to face With the man who sold the world I laughed and shook his hand And made my way back home I searched for form and land For years and years I roamed I gazed a gazeless stare At all the millions here We must have died alone A long long time ago Who knows? Not me We never lost control Youre face to face With the man With the man who sold the world
When I believed in nothing I called her name Trapped in a high-dollar joint in some place I called her name And though my days were slipping by And nights so cruel I thought Id die She danced her little dance till it made me cry She was shakin like this honey doing that When I needed soul revival I called your name When I was falling to pieces I screamed in pain Your soothing hand that turned me round A love so real swept over me You danced your little dance till it made me cry You were shakin like this honey doing that Never let me down She never let me down Never let me down She never let me down When all your faith is failing Call my name When youve got nothing coming Call my name Ill be strong for all it takes Ill cover your head till the bad stuff breaks Ill dance my little dance till it makes you smile Shaking like this honey doing that Never let you down Ill never let you down Ill never let you down Ill never let you down Oh no
Mountains of Lhasa are feeling the rain People are walking the Botella lanes Preacher takes the school One boy breaks a rule Silly boy blue, blue, silly boy blue Yak butter statues that melt in the sun Cannot dissolve all the work youve not done A chela likes to feel That his overself pays the bill Silly boy blue, blue, silly boy blue You wish and wish, and wish again Youve tried so hard to fly Youll never leave your body now Youve got to wait to die La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la Silly boy blue, blue, silly boy blue Child of the Tibet, youre a gift from the sun Reincarnation of one better man The homeward road is long Youve left your prayers and song Silly boy blue, blue, silly boy blue
In the corner of the morning in the past I would sit and blame the master first and last All the roads were straight and narrow And the prayers were small and yellow And the rumour spread that I was aging fast Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping by a tree And I looked and frowned and the monster was me Well, I said hello and I said hello And I asked Why not? and I replied I dont know So we asked a simple black bird, who was happy as can be And he laughed insane and quipped Khalil Gibran And I cried for all the others untill the day was nearly through For I realized that Gods a young man too So I said So long and I waved bye-bye And I smashed my soul and traded my mind Got laid by a young bordello Who was vaguely half asleep For which my reputation swept back home in drag And the moral of this magic spell Negotiates my hide When God did take my logic for a ride He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips And showed me the leather belt round his hips My knees were shaking, my cheeks aflame He said, youll never go down to the Gods again He struck the ground, a cavern appeared And I smelt the burning pit of fear We crashed a thousand yards below I said, do it again, do it again His nebulous body swayed above His tongue swollen with devils love The snake and I, a venom high I said, do it again, do it again Breathe, breathe, breathe deeply And I was seething, breathing deeply Spitting sentry, horned and tailed Waiting for you
