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:)
