IN THE BEGINNING was the light of the word and the word begat the book and the book is in your eyes I can see it everytime you smile have you ever really seen a flower driving at a hundred miles an hour can you read the writing on the wall can you see the future in your crystal ball?
IN THE BEGINNING was the light of a fire and it caught an electric wire somebody called it the big bang I want to be the leader of your gang have you ever really heard the ocean did you really drink the magic potion I want to be tortured on your rack I want to be your black cat.
Can I take your elevator all the way to the top?
Can I take your elevator all the way down?

Who does the laundry in Gods own country?
Who lit the atomic fuse?
Who put this joint in my hand
and who do I hand it to?
My mind is a complete blank
the sun in the sky don't ask me why
You can change a baby but the baby just wont change
I'm staying high I'm staying dry
I'm staying dry in the pouring rain
I see your hands feel your vibration
No time for explanation
Put down your phone and shut your mouth
Get your coat cuz were going out
My mind is a complete blank
the sun in the sky don't ask me why

Congratulations on your graduation
you're in the real world now
theres no escaping the situation so don't ask me how
It's another sunny Sunday morning-
It's you're birthday again
Another day in the solar rays
another moment begins
I rode your motorbike home
I threw away my phone
I DON'T KNOW ANYONE
Time moves forward and time stands still
Your eyes won't lie but a mirror will
It's getting dark it's getting light
I saw the sun come up in the middle of the night

Magic Carpet Ryders Nevada City, California
Magic Carpet Ryders sail on a droning zephyr of jingle jangle pop music. Hailing from the musical Mecca that is Nevada City, this turbaned trio plays folk rock that is neither folk nor rock. The words are obtuse but familiar and everything gets a dose of reverb: bass, drums, vocals, all 12 guitar strings- we’ll even throw in an autoharp free of charge. ... more
