Five Hits of Acid

Pack my bags and walk the streets to see what I can find  
One step beyond outside myself, I try to free my mind  
Exercise, then meditate, I still can't find the door
I've got the answer on the tip of my tongue
I'll do what Huxley did before

Oh I swallow repeatedly  
My pride, my anger, my circumstance  
This life in overdrive   
And now, the sweet space of mystery
Gone wafer thin, this zone I'm in
I'm flying, I'm alive 

Five hits of acid         
That's what it takes    
Five hits of acid          
Save the last dance, do the EGO shake 

Walking to the edge of fear and the light that shines wìthin
Burning man embrace the flame, collapse and rise again
Window leap in dark disguise, fall upon the sword 
Torn apart by the wolves of your mind, a fate to face and ford

And oh, I swallow repeatedly 
My guilt, my envy, my past regrets
This life in overdrive
And now, the space walk of synergy
The air is thin, I'm floating in, I must acclimatise

Chorus

…..into the void, the ocean sky 
      time eclipsed, the worries swim on by 
      take a break, the air is clear  
      just for a moment, the truth, the end is    
      near  

First time down, you will taste fear
Second time the mother's tear
The third time, you're a maniac
Fourth time, you can't live like that
But the fifth time, there you go
You be breaking down  minutes,seconds are slowed
And you be walking on the water, walking on the water
You're a slave to the slaughter now

Five hits of acid, that's just what it takes 
Five hits of acid,  that's what it takes
Five hits of acid
Five hits of acid, do me good
Five hits of acid
Like I knew you would





Five Hits Of Acid

"I'll Be Home" song written and performed by Randy Newman

I'll Be Home (Cover)

Track # 3 "Look Out for My Love" 
Neil Young – guitar, vocal; Frank "Poncho" Sampedro – guitar; Billy Talbot – bass, vocal; Ralph Molina – drums, vocal
Recorded at Broken Arrow Ranch, 1/20/1976 with overdubs at CBS Studios London 4/1/1976.

From  the LP "Comes a Time the ninth studio album by Canadian-American singer-songwriter Neil Young, released by Reprise Records in October 1978. The album is largely performed in a quiet folk and country style. It features backing harmonies sung by Nicolette Larson and additional accompaniment by musicians that had accompanied Young on his commercial pinnacle, Harvest. Like Harvest, the lyrics to many of its songs are inspired by relationships. In his memoir, Waging Heavy Peace, Young describes Comes a Time as one of his best albums ever."    Wikipedia

Look out For My Love - -Neil Young (Cover)

This is my take on this classic Canned Heat tune......
"Going Up the Country" (also "Goin' Up the Country") is a song adapted and recorded by American blues rock band Canned Heat. Called a "rural hippie anthem", it became one of the band's biggest hits and best-known songs."            Wikipedia

listen to that howling! Full Moon is the craving, feel that lunar love

Thrown To The Wolves

This song from Neil will not be familiar to most. From an LP called "For in the Road" (2009).
The lyrics really resonated with me  based on how I have been feeling as a citizen of the US the last several months. The tone seems to fit with my my most recent original composition called "Bravery".

“What makes a song is the singer, while what makes a singer is their dedication to music and their inner feelings.”   Dimash Qudaibergen

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.
