Admiral halsey notified me

He had to have a berth or he couldnt get to sea

I had another look and I had a cup of tea and butter pie

(the butter wouldnt melt so I put it in the pie)

Hand across the water (water)

Heads across the sky

Hand across the water (water)

Heads across the sky

Live a little be a gypsy, get around(get around)

Get your feet up off the ground

Live a little, get around

Live a little be a gypsy, get around(get around)

Get your feet up off the ground

Live a little, get around

--Paul McCartney

Either go away or go all the way in

Look at what you hold

Come back down on a spear of silence

When it flies

You go on through

You come on through

The ridiculous no

Oh no

One more pair of

Loving eyes look down on you

Sheets and a pillow

How old will you have to be before you

Stop believing

That those eyes will look down on you

That way forever

There you sit mouth wide open

Animals nipping at your sides

On wire wheels the four stroke man

Opens wide

The marching sound

The constant ride

On the gasket is mine

All mine

One more pair of

Wire wheels bear down on you

Gear stripping the willow

How many machine men will you see before you

Stop believing that speed

Will slide down on you

Like brakes in bad weather

Legend of a Mind - The Moody Blues

Timothy Leary's dead.

No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.

Timothy Leary's dead.

No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.

He'll fly his astral plane,

Takes you trips around the bay,

Brings you back the same day,

Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary.

Timothy Leary's dead.

No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.

Timothy Leary's dead.

No, no, no, no, He's outside looking in.

He'll fly his astral plane,

Takes you trips around the bay,

Brings you back the same day,

Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary.

Along the coast you'll hear them boast

About a light they say that shines so clear.

So raise your glass, we'll drink a toast

To the little man who sells you thrills along the pier.

He'll take you up, he'll bring you down,

He'll plant your feet back firmly on the ground.

He flies so high, he swoops so low,

He knows exactly which way he's gonna go.

Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary.

He'll take you up, he'll bring you down,

He'll plant your feet back on the ground.

He'll fly so high, he'll swoop so low.

Timothy Leary.

He'll fly his astral plane.

He'll take you trips around the bay.

He'll bring you back the same day.

Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary.

Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary.

Timothy Leary.

I knew that Joe would hit on the Porpoise Song! :)

I just searched this thread, did I miss this? I agree that the lyrics are completely trippy, probably the most psychedelic thing the Monkees ever did:

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away

There's so much to say

A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice

And it cannot rejoice

Wanting to be, to hear and to see

Crying to the sky

But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye

good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Clicks, clacks

Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while

The ego sings of castles and kings and things

That go with a life of style

Wanting to feel, to know what is real

Living is a lie

But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye

Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Then there's this one, which was always my favorite hippie-type Monkees song:

Darkened rolling figures move thru' prisms of no color.

Hand in hand, they walk the night,

But never know each other.

Passioned pastel neon lights light up the jeweled trav'ler

Who, lost in scenes of smoke filled dreams,

Find questions, but no answers.

Startled eyes that sometimes see phantasmagoric splendor

Pirouette down palsied paths

With pennies for the vendor.

Salvation's yours for just the time it takes to pay the dancer.

And once again such anxious men

Find questions, but no answers.

The night has gone and taken it's infractions,

While saddened eyes hope there will be a next one.

Sahara signs look down upon a world that glitters glibly.

And mountain sides put arms around

The unsuspecting city.

Second hands that minds have slowed are moving even faster

Toward bringing down someone who's found

7/4's song for the day:

Open my Eyes

Nazz

Underneath your gaze I was found in

The haze I'm wandering around in

I am lost in the dark of my own room

And I can't see a thing but the fire in your eyes

Clear my eyes, make me wise

Or is all I believe in lies

I really don't know when or where to go

And I can't see a thing 'til you open my eyes

I've been told by some you'll forget me

The thought doesn't upset me

I am blind to whatever they're saying

And all I can see is the fire in your eyes

Can't believe that it's on your mind

To leave me behind

Look over yonder

What do you see?

The sun is a'rising

Most definitely

A new day is coming

People are changing

Ain't it beautiful

Crystal blue persuasion

Better get ready

To see the light

Love, love is the answer

And that's all right

So don't you give up now

So easy to find

Just look to your soul

Open your mind

Crystal blue persuasion

Mmm, mmm-mmm

It's a new vibration

Crystal blue persuasion

Crystal... blue persuasion

Maybe tomorrow

When he looks down

On every green field

And every town

All of his children

And every nation

They'll be peace and good brotherhood

Crystal blue persuasion

Yeah

Crystal blue persuasion

Aha

Crystal blue persuasion

Aha

Crystal blue persuasion

Aha
