Take my advice
Dont listen to me
It aint paradise
But it used to be
There was a time
When the river was wide
And the water
came running down
To the rising tide
But the wooden ships
Were just a hippie dream
Just a hippie dream.
Dont bat an eye
Dont waste a word
Dont mention nothin
That could go unheard
Cause the tie-dye sails
Are the screamin sheets
And the dusty trail
Leads to blood
in the streets
And the wooden ships
Are a hippie dream
Capsized in excess
If you know what I mean.
Just because
its over for you
Dont mean
its over for me
Its a victory
for the heart
Every time
the music starts
So please
dont kill the machine
Dont kill the machine
Dont kill the machine.
Another flower child
goes to seed
In an ether-filled
room of meat-hooks
Its so ugly
So ugly.
