Maybe I should announce it, should I
|
Memory of a free festival
|
|
The Children of the summer's end
|
Gathered in the dampened grass
|
We played Our songs and felt the London sky
|
Resting on our hands
|
It was God's 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 didn't, 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 toppest 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 We're Gonna Have a Party, ha ha ha
|
(repeat 25 times)
|
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party, yeah yeah
|
The Sun Machine is coming down, woh ho ho
|
Sun Machine is coming down, oh oh oh ah
|
Sun Machine is coming down, oh
|
