about

Written in 1971 at age 19, after spending the Autumn months travelling around the Western US. I came home for the holidays and somehow came up with this on my parents' piano. The lyrics are sort of a parody of some of the "deep" lyrics in psychedelic rock of the time.

lyrics

Parasox

Put your shoes on wash your face
Grab your hat, let's join the race
For the new planet
Green wild and still
So far away

On the way we'll have a chance
For some outer space romance
In the lush music
Dance in your sex
Is heavenly

Sitting in the garden shade
Beauty is the dream I made
The human race races on
Watching as the sunlight fades

Heart of fire face of life
Mother is a tortured wife
She feels the sly old parasites
Parachutes in paradise
Paralyzed, paranoid, parallax, paradox
Pair o' pants, pair o' shoes, pair o' socks
