Walkin' in the park just the other day, baby
What do you think I saw?
Crowds of people sittin' on the grass
with flowers in their hair said
"Hey, boy, do you wanna score?"
And you know how it is
I really don't know what time it was
So I asked them if I could stay awhile
I didn't notice but it had got very dark and
I was really out of my mind.
Just then a policeman stepped up to me
and asked us said:
"Please, hey, would we care to all get in line''
Well you know
They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun
He said that his friends would all drop by
Why don't you take a good look at yourself
and describe what you see,
And baby do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare
like a book on a shelf rustin'
Not trying to fight it
You really don't care if they're coming
I know that it's all a state of mind
If you go down in the streets today, baby
You better open your eyes
Folk down there really don't care, really don't
Which way the pressure lies
So I've decided what I'm gonna do now
So I'm packing my bags for the misty mountains
Where the spirits go now
Over the hills where the spirits fly
I really don't know
