lyrics

Rainbow children of the sun
your batty dreams have just begun
stand along the motorway like flowers in a row
happy campers in the rain
staring at the weather vane
transcendental energy flows from a stereo

Well, I’ve been thinking over the things you said
but I’m not your average, empty acid-head
it’s an illusion and I won’t come down
to be another raving cosmic casualty
over and over, it seems very real
I’m falling off the edge into infinity

Children of the Milky way
your world is now in disarray
1969 is swiftly coming to a close
happy campers in the shade
let’s go and spike some lemonade
give the magic bus a pounding
and away it goes!

Uncle Jerry’s left us an open space
looks like a star-gate to another place
you’re still in the mud bath
with your lime-green sunnies, happy as Larry
standing on a folding ironing board
back at the duck pond
skinny-dipping with your tackle in show
going for the Golden fig-leaf award!

Now distant voices echo from far away
and it’s a rocky road down memory lane
all you remember, coloured wheels go ‘round
the cobwebs of your mind play out a symphony
look all around you and your material folly
hinting at a new kind of reality.
