(Peters inst intro chiming clear guitar sound)
TIME IS JUST SLIPPIN' AWAY
TRIPPING AWAY... TO ANOTHER PLANE

CLOUDS THEY CAN MAKE MY DAY
THEY'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
LIKE THE VERY LAST PAGE
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
CDA CDA CDA CDA G
TIME IT'S JUST SLIPPING AWAY
ON A FAR AWAY DAY
AND YOUR HEART'S ON DISPLAY
AS THE SUN GOES DOWN
AND THE WHEELS GO ROUND AND ROUND
AND THE WHEELS THEY MAKE A SOUND
WHEN THE RUBBER HITS THE GROUND
ON THE EDGE OF TOWN

KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER lyrics Barron Music Dream Taxi
UPDATED JAN 25/2013
Am A GDA G F
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING
FEELS LIKE WE'RE SINKING
DON'T START RETHINKING
WE BETTER START SWIMMING
YOU GOTTA KEEP YOUR HEAD,
KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER X 1
NO TIME FOR CRYING
IMAGINE YOU'RE FLYING
FOCUS ON BREATHING
DON'T STOP BELIEVING
YOU GOTTA KEEP YOUR HEAD,
KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER X 2
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING
WE SHOULD BE DRINKING
JUST HAVE ONE MORE
AND HEAD FOR A SAFE SHORE
YOU GOTTA KEEP YOUR HEAD,
KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER X 1
GF (BRIDGE)
THIS SUMMER I WENT SWIMMING
THIS SUMMER I MIGHT HAVE DROWNED
BUT I HELD MY BREATH
AND I KICKED MY FEET AROUND
THIS SUMMER I WENT SWIMMING
THIS SUMMER I MIGHT HAVE DROWNED
BUT I HELD MY BREATH
AND MOVED MY ARMS AROUND
DO DO DO DO x 4
YOU GOTTA KEEP YOUR HEAD,
KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER endless Repeats.....

HOUSE OF LORDS D Am G Am aug 12/19
D YOUR EYES ARE BLUE Am BUT YOUR HEART IS COLD D
D YOU CARRY A SECRET Am THAT CAN'T BE SOLD D
THE DAWN HAS COME Am AND we ARE FREE G
YOU LIE IN WAITING AS IN A DREAM
YOUR KING AND YOUR QUEEN IN THEIR ESTEEM
VELVET THRONE AND WOUNDED KNEE
C oooh G oooh IT SHALL D BE
YOU CUT YOUR HAIR IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS
NOT WITH SCISSORS BUT WITH YOUR SWORD
YOUR GOLDEN CURLS FALL TO THE FLOOR
THE SERPENT'S TOOTH ..A BLESSED CHILD
A MAIDEN DANCING SO FAIR AND WILD
REVEALING SECRETS WITH LIPS ON FIRE
oooh oooh IT WILL BE X 2
B R E A K
YOUR THANE AND MASTER WILL HONOUR THEE
SO TAKE OF THE CHALICE AND DRINK FOR THREE
AND BY MY SIDE IS WHERE YOU WILL BE
YOU CUT YOUR HAIR IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS
NOT WITH SCISSORS BUT WITH YOUR SWORD
YOUR CURLS ARE FLOATING OUT TO SEA
YOUR CURLS ARE FLOATING SO DELICATELY

Am THERE ARE ONLY THREE WAYS TO GET PAID
Am LOUSY PREMISE & MOVIES THAT NEVER GOT MADE
Am LIKE A ROADSIGN TWISTED AND RUSTED
Am LIKE A MOTOR CAR BROKEN AND RUSTED
F IT'S A COLD AND LONELY WORLD
Am IT'S A COLD AND LONELY WORLD
IT'S A HOBO WHO'S LOST HIS BELIEF
IT'S A SPIDER AND A THIEF
B R E A K
IT'S A MUSHROOM OR LSD
PEYOTE FIREBALL CHANGE WHAT YOU SEE
LIFE A LIFETIME STANDING IN LINE
TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S YOURS AND WHAT'S MINE
Am F Am F
IT'S A COLD AND LONELY WORLD
A HAUNTING FOR EVERY BOY AND GIRL
LIKE THE ICE OF RAIN IN STORY OR SONG
AND A WORLD THAT WONDERS WHAT WENT WRONG

HIS TAPES ROLL ON peter stampfel
WITH CAPO ON 2
Em HARRY RECORDED WITH A WIRE RECORDER
A BACK IN WORLD WAR TWO Em
A HARRY RECORDED WITH A REEL TO REEL
WHEN THE REEL TO REEL WAS Em NEW
HARRY RECORDED CASSETTES BY THE HUNDRED
AS THE CENTURY ROLLED ON
HE EVEN USED A TELEPHONE ANSWERING MACHINE
BUT HARRY SMITH IS GONE
SPEED RAPPING KILLERS AND JUMP ROPE RHYMES
FIREWORKS ON THE FOURTH OF JULY
COMPLETE EARLY CANNON OF GREGORY CORSO
KITTENS, SNOWSTORMS..AIRPLANE TRIPS
WHAT IS THE SOUND OF ONE HAND CLAPPING
WHERE'S TOMORROW GONE
MOST OF HIS TAPES ARE MISSING IN ACTION
AND HARRY SMITH IS GONE
BUT HIS C TAPES ROLL ON AND THEY'LL NEVER STOP
TILL THEY Em ROLL ALL OVER THE WORLD
A TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH , EAST & WEST D
AMPHETAMINE BABBLE, JUNKY MUMBLES
CONCERTS IN THE PARK
BANGING PANS, BANGING POTS
SQEAKING HINGES , DEAD BOLT LOCKS
SINGING BIRDS AT SUNSET, SINGING BIRDS AT DAWN
ONCE UPON A TIME HE GOT 'EM ALL, BUT HARRY SMITH IS GONE
DEATH BED PRAYERS OF BOWERY BUMS
THEIR DEATH RATTLES TOO
AMBIENT SOUNDS OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS
TEA KETTLES BY THE SLEW
SQUEALING BREAKS , HONKING HORNS
ON AND ON AND ON
HE WORKED HIS MAGIC WITH A MICROPHONE
BUT HARRY SMITH IS GONE
BUT HIS TAPES ROLL AND THEY'LL NEVER STOP
TILL THEY ROLL ALL OVER THE WORLD
OVER THE MOUNTAIN, ACROSS THE SEA
PEYOTE SONGS OF THE KIOWA
THE FUGS FIRST RECORD TOO
THE SONGS OF ORLOVSKY AND GINSBERG
RHOOSTERS COCK A DOODLE DO
CHURCH BELLS RINGING AND CHILDREN SINGING
HE KEPT ON KEEPING ON
ROLLING HIS TAPES TILL THEY ROLLED HIM UP
AND HARRY SMITH WAS GONE
RODEOS, CARNIVALS ...
GAMES OF BASKET BALL
DOGS, AND CATS AND SQUIRRELS AND COWS
CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL
HE HUSTLED MANY HUSTLES
HE CONNED A COUPLED CONS
HE LIVED THE LIFE HE WANTED TO
BUT HARRY SMITH IS GONE
BUT HIS TAPES ROLL AND THEY'LL NEVER STOP
TILL THEY ROLL ALL OVER THE WORLD
THEY'RE GONNA ROLL TO THE SUN AND MOON AND STARS
HE TRIED TO TAKE THE WHOLE WIDE
AND SHOVE IT UP HIS EARS
HE HEARD IT ALL AS ONE GREAT SONG
THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES
HE PLANNED TO TAPE A SERIES
CALLED MOVIES FOR THE BLIND
BUT TIME AND FATE HAD OTHER PLANS
FATE'S NOT ALWAYS KIND
SONIC SOCIALITY
AUDIO VERITE
A KIND OF MEDITATION
GODS OWN GUEST D J
GENIUS SHAMAN PAIN IN THE ASS
PEERLESS PARAGON
WE'LL NEVER SEE HIS LIKE AGAIN .... HARRY SMITH IS GONE
BUT HIS TAPES ROLL AND THEY'LL NEVER STOP
TILL THEY ROLL ALL OVER THE WORLD
OVER UNDER SIDEWAYS DOWN

Running down the alley way , wonder what I saw
shadow of a lover , shining on the wall
travel to another world , find another plane
calculate disaster, no one takes the blame
In all this confusion, people messing with the earth
It's a media delusion, stupid minds at work
Hiding in your bedroom, chatting with your friends
suddenly it all makes sense, love will rule again, again, again , again......
Are you happy
Are you out on the street
Are you singing
Are you looking for peace
Are your children celebrating
Are they smiling
Is your soul reaching out
Is it crying

PRESS QUOTES:
"His early stuff find the mad-scientist whine of Barron's synth in cosmic dalliance with sprays
of Korg and processed Sax over a bed of surrealistic power chords. Also notable are the tape delay effect that imposes it's onw semblance of order amid the percussion arc." NEW WAVE PILLOW Magazine
