Purple Cow

Purple Cow

 

I've never seen a purple cow

though I have been inside a purple haze

things are different between then and now

when I stumbled around for many dayz

 

standing in corners watching the crowd

yellow barrels of sunshine enlightened view

Mr Hendrix's Watchtower 90 decibels loud

smiling faces thinking that we really knew

 

it seemed so simple peace and love

not very real but I so miss those times

burn the bra olive branch and dove

now I just sit and think up rhymes

 

Dylan's monotone with catchy words

Gracie had her rabbit of white

he was a friend of mine sang out the Byrds

another hit of fresh air tonite

 

Vietnam changed things so much

yet still again the money rules

you would have thought we had the touch

but once again we are the fools

 

so maybe it is time once again

to raise up our voices and show them how

we will not just stand around and grin

maybe it's time to see that purple cow
