Other Side of the Rainbow

It was on the other side of the rainbow When I slid into a dream I guess at that time nothing was, as it truly seemed People came and people went The needle played my blues Through the rainbow dreams into leprechaun schemes I was Papa Smurf with the magic brew I built a Crystal Castle On the shores of nevermore I guess sometimes I wonder, “What was I searching for” Beauty danced with big brown eyes Though the faces always changed Many times I slept with gals I thought were rather strange Magic slides that no one hides I wonder where they go? I once slid down the rainbow just to see the show The stars are bright it’s a beautiful night Moonbeams illuminating mushrooms all around Here by my house crickets and frogs are the only sound Fairies dance like fireflies It’s really quite the sight Ever tripped down Hollywood and Vine on a Friday night I have lived through many dreams Shared many angels souls Shattered dreams and broken schemes, nothing but empty goals Broken hearts torn apart Blowing in the wind Like fairy dust you just can’t trust Not even your closest friend I dove into a crystal pool on the other side of the hill I swear sometimes in my ears I can hear the ringing still I rode upon the tornado just to go spinning through the sound Landed in a concrete room bouncing all around Leprechauns and rainbows Unicorn’s beautiful and white When I finally kicked the horse It wasn’t a pretty sight Like a frog on the log or a sick old dawg Just a skeleton in a box With the strength of Arthur's sword and trust in the Lord I shattered a thousand locks Now I’m back on this side of the rainbow And every thing’s looking bright My Guinevere is here and I love her dear She is such a lovely sight Trials come like waterfalls Flooding though our life I truly am a lucky man to face them with my wife Well let’s gig the frog and fire up the log We’ll roast us a pig tonight Life is good in my neighborhood Nary a single vice The other side of the rainbow now seems so very far away I guess that is really about all I have to say
