lyrics

Home, home to my good friends
Surrounded by deities
Freeze

It’s not where we’re going
But how the hell to get there
Fade this way in

Good times without sin?
You question my intention
It was you who taught me

Paul Theroux was right
The hippies, they all lied
Cocooned in black and white

Butterfly
Colour strobe in my eye
A little piece of mind

You sold out
To the city crowd

You sold out to me
An insoluble mystery
But I feel bound to feel sublime

It’s all down to me

Former hippies lied
Behind their suits will hide
Fade this way out

The white sands of the bay
Where things are left unspoken
And feeling’s equalised

No bouncers deciding
Who can come in
I think I’ll be fine
