Bedoin tribes ascending From the egg into the flower, Alpha information sending State within the heaven shower From disciples the unending Subtleties of river power They slip inside this house as they pass by If your limbs begin dissolving In the water that you tread All surroundings are evolving In the stream that clears your head Find yourself a caravan Like Noah must have led And slip inside this house as you pass by. Slip inside this house as you pass by. True conception, knowing why Brings even more than meets the eye Slip inside this house as you pass by. In this dark we call creation We can be and feel and know From an effort, comfort station That's surviving on the go There's infinite survival in The high baptismal glow. Slip inside this house as you pass by. There is no season when you are grown You are always risen from the seeds you've sown There is no reason to rise alone Other stories given have sages of their own. Live where your heart can be given And your life starts to unfold In the forms you envision In this dream that's ages old On the river layer is the only sayer You receive all you can hold Like you've been told. Every day's another dawning Give the morning winds a chance Always catch your thunder yawning Lift your mind into the dance Sweep the shadows from your awning Shrink the fourfold circumstance That lies outside this house don't pass it by. Higher worlds that you uncover Light the path you want to roam You compare there and discover You won't need a shell of foam Twice born gypsies care and keep The nowhere of their former home They slip inside this house as they pass by. Slip inside this house as you pass by. You think you can't, you wish you could I know you can, I wish you would Slip inside this house as you pass by. Four and twenty birds of Maya Baked into an atom you Polarized into existence Magnet heart from red to blue To such extent the realm of dark Within the picture it seems true But slip inside this house and then decide. All your lightning waits inside you Travel it along your spine Seven stars receive your visit Seven seals remain divine Seven churches filled with spirit, Treasure from the angels' mine Slip inside this house as you pass by. Slip inside this house as you pass by. The space you make has your own laws No longer human gods are cause The center of this house will never die. There is no season when you are grown You are always risen from the seeds you've sown There is no reason to rise alone Other stories given have sages of their own. Draw from the well of unchanging Its union nourishes on In the right re-arranging Till the last confusion is gone Water-brothers trust in the ultimust Of the always singing song they pass along. One-eyed men aren't really reigning They just march in place until Two-eyed men with mystery training Finally feel the power fill Three-eyed men are not complaining. They can yo-yo where they will They slip inside this house as they pass by. Don't pass it by. 'Slip Inside This House' - The 13th Floor Elevators (1967)
Reverberation Well, you finally find your helpless mind, is trapped inside your skin. You want to leave, but you believe you won't get back again. You only know , you have to go but still you can't get out. You try and try, you die and die. You're stopped by your own doubt. Reverberation, reverberation. You find no peace, it doesn't cease, it's deadly irritation. It keeps you blind, it's there behind, your every hesitation. It holds your thought, your mind is caught, your fixed with fascination. You think you'll die, it's just a lie, it's backward elevation! Reverberation, reverberation. You see reverberation, in your latest incarnation, You think it's a sensation, but it's just reverberation. You start to serve, the downward curve, that catches up your fears. Each thing you do, comes home to you, and pounds inside your ears. Your start to fight against the night, that screams inside your mind. When something black it answers back, and grabs you from behind! Reverberation, echoing through your brain. Reverberation, driving your mind insane. Reverberation, causing your blood to drain, leaving just charred remains I love that song! 13th floor Elevators were a really cool band!
Ahahaha... I thought of Derek when I saw this thread. But those lyrics are way too long. I'm never going to read all that. Is there a shorter version?
