I came down, was thrown on the ground Searching for smiles, getting frowns Watching musical highs like Messiaen and Miles All I was getting was downs And give me some color, give me some bone Give me relief or leave me alone Give me some boots, give me some brains Got nothing to lose and all to gain I've been subject to a certain suspect Who played like they hate, what they said that they liked I won't sublet or pretend to beget A shackled down music that's nothing but hype I just want to show you a smile and a wave Next thing to dark blue is deep purple haze I just want to show you a vision of the sun So glad to know you 'cause you're second to none I just want to show you a smile and a wave Next thing to dark blue I just want to show you a vision of the sun So glad to know you 'cause you're second to none
