Song Description

self-explanatory

Lyrics

I don't know if it's crazy,
Don't know if it's mad
I wanna be in a 60'spsych
garage band so bad
I love the way that music
drifts in & out, it does
the mantras flow & weave
we all get to feeling groovy love
I don't know just why I 'm wishing
things could be the way
they used to be a long time ago
In my stoned-out hippie days


I DON'T CARE WHO YOU KNOW
DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO
ONCE THAT MUSIC HITS YOUR BLOODSTEAM
YOR'RE A GONER,THRU & THRU
YOUR LIFE WILL BE MUCH RICHER
THERE'LL BE CHALLENGES AS WELL
ROCK'N'ROLL MUSIC
IS COOLER THAN HELL
Sky Saxon was a singer
Crazy like a dog on the moon
he pushed it too hard
he fell apart too soon
Sean Bonniwell was another one,
Jet black hair and Beatle bangs
exploding machines of music
LA, Detroit, NY, just give thanks
Cause these guys have carried the torch for all these many years
When Our Big Star died
We shed a lotta tears
I know the kids would dig it
if they'd get to hear it too
it just 2 guitars, bass & drums,
4 Chords & The Truth
just like when I was a young man
Muddy and the Wolf kept it real
Maybe, I didn't understand
But there was something I could feel
It's a Sirius garage, a web of
Technicolor sound
I know I'm not alone
But we're keeping it underground
