In The Garden Of Life ('In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida')

Random thoughts.

iron butterflies make noise when the take off and land

you've gotta' sing or play an instrument to be in a band

no one says, "you missed one" to people raking sand

you've got to step into the light to get tanned

generic is still a brand

no big deal

which is better - to think or feel

along with the bad wheel

i never know what to do with the shopping cart when i'm done

i figure that it'll be grabbed by someone else's son

after all

hearts' desires are never done

praying isn't just for a nun

no one stretches before a bank run

you've got to have breath to fire a blow gun

so i just leave the rusty carriage there

for anyone and everyone

eve must have been quite the glowing cressida

in-a-gadda-da-vida

Cool poem...saw Iron Butterfly live twice. Memories and shopping carts...leave it to Pete.
