The Grasshopper Song - Barry McGuire

Life like we lived it is leaving

I don’t think we’re achieving

What we had in mind

We sit back, relax and even

Though we don’t know what’s leaving

We’re waving good bye

Mike was a rock’n’roll star with a golden one on the hollywood boulevard,

If you asked me

O.t.

would have made a great big movie if he had had the money,

But he hadn’t

Tony was the new philosopher if they had only let her

They did not let her

Jenny was trying to do her own radio show — i mean she was

Ready to go

And no one i know is still trying to go where he wanted

Where he wanted

Before they think it’s too late and they can no longer wait they have landed

Stranded

I see anyone around seeking safer ground — they can’t find it

They won’t find it

The grasshopper and me, we’re not willing to see

What they all call winter

Life like we lived it is leaving

I don’t think we’re achieving

What we had in mind

We sit back, relax and even

Though we don’t know what’s leaving

We’re waving good bye

Life like we lived it is leaving

I don’t think we’re achieving

What we had in mind

We sit back, relax and even

Though we are down we’re believing

That we can’t get high
