lyrics

‘67

Purple haze across a tangerine sky
The year must have been ‘67
I plated the chrome on that Ford Mustang ride
Today it still shines through the wreckage

I threw all caution to the wind
Stepped away from the system
Acid rain battered the empty street
I hitched a ride and sealed my fate

An empty face donning a corroded smile
I left behind in the mirror
The girl with the locks and the hazelnut eyes
I hope she burnt all the love letters

Me, my dreams and my guitar
We took off blindly for the west
Song by song and town by town
To the ocean we made the trek

Forty years have passed us by
I find myself on the other side
On the tables of DJ Krush
The ghost of Miles still spins around
Takes us to the light, away from the night
Now I understand the signals of the hand

I threw all caution to the wind…

Good boy was cheated upon by the man
One day the slave became the rebel
I laid a wreath where the Unknown Soldier died
Though many unknowns paid the price

I did my turn playing with the gun
They taught me how to be a killer
I got my face buried in the mud
Man of peace, unlikely warrior

Many years have passed us by, I find myself on the other side
On the tables of DJ Krush the ghost of Miles still spins around
Takes us to the light, away from the night
Now I understand the signals of the hand
