lyrics

Summerland

Where's the flow? Got to know! What's the toll?
Looking for a special today?
"Cross the stream, through a dream", such a deal!
Can you show me, if I give you time?

Just in time, to tune the dream machine
Grease the palm, the future is all green
You can keep it till you fall apart
Transfer now, before the taste grows tart
From the banks to castles in the air
Take it all? The world is there to share
Pay your way? Does the game seem fair?
Give it back? You know the need is there!

Give me yours, I'll give you mine, understand,
Maybe we can be for free in Summerland.

See the lines connecting to "amaze"
All the I's that filter through the haze
See the darkness blending with the light
Crystallized and packaged up just right
Suddenly, your heart begins to shake
Trade your mind for all you want to take
"Buy it now" the voice begins to wail
Stop the sound, but still the echoes sail…

Give me yours, I'll give you mine, understand,
Maybe we can be for free in Summerland.

I thought the flowers were still growing
I thought the river was still flowing
I thought that wisdom was in knowing what to know
Was I just dreaming again?
We only have what our sensations show…

Rock and roll feeds your soul, makes you whole!
Want some more? Pay some more. What's it for?
