VW buses headed to Haight and Ashbury In San Francisco to meet a man We brought the acid to expand our consciousness that's what Tim Leary suggested And you need to feed your head like Jefferson Airplane said Just go ask Alice Yes we brought the psychedelics and our bus is painted in pastel peace signs and purple Shiva's We wove flowers in our braid we ran barefoot and climbed the trees They said that the hippies are dead but The Grateful has yet to perform their last gig love love love, man it's our religion R.I.P John Lennon ***** Warhol's banana and Campbell's soup But we miss Lou Reed and Nico too Yes the summer of love was in 67' and Woodstock was a muddy heaven We watched every episode of Laugh-In but it wasn't always sunshine and dandelions like when a runaway overdoses from ****** It was a wave no one remembers but to everything there is a season Freaks with beards at the drive-in R.I.P Janis Joplin We were all California Dreamin' Jack Kerouac the dharma *** was friends with Neal Cassady the other-worldly monad A time of innocence a time of confidences And so we are here bumming cigarettes and joints with talk about the Manson Family and Sharon Tate We are all here so come along but in the meantime I'd love to turn you on.
