Speak To Me In the 60's

Want you please speak to me in the 60's In far out psychedelic rhymes Take a ride beside the blacklight On the Velvet Underground Wake me up with the Strawberry Alarm Clock Serving incense and peppermints in bed Fixing a hole where the rain gets in As the 60's flood my head Walk with me through Asbury With a flower child in hand Listening to the groovy tunes Of Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band Hang out with the hippies Before Monterey goes pop As they fly like butterflies At the moment the acid drops Want you please speak to me in the 60's In the innocence of peace and love Back then we all had our share But is there ever really enough?

Me too, was too young for Woodstock and was never really a hippie myself but remember seeing some on the street where I lived! Peace and love through Jesus:)
