13th Floor Elevators - You Don't Know

There You are again,
Standing down below me,
Honestly believing that there's something you could show me,
While deep within your mind is what you give to me to know me.

And you don't know,
You don't know,
You don't know how young you are

Her eyes are filled with coral snakes
and liquid plastic castles,
Her daily life revolves around a thousand petty hassles,
Corny dogs and window panes fixed with silver tassels,

And you don't know,
You don't know,
You don't know how young you are

If I knew what's right for you,
you would not think about it,
And if I knew the truth from you,
I'd truly stand and shout it,
There's better things that you could be,
There is no doubt about it

And you don't know,
You don't know,
You don't know how young you are

You don't know (How young you are now)
You don't know (How young you are now)
You don't know (How young you are now)
You don't know (How young you are now)

[pfordsq]

I have to admit , I originally thought the line was "Her daily life revolves around a thousand Eddie Haskels".

[fiendwithoutaface66]

@maneatingorchids that "shit bag" playing the jug is Tommy Hall and he wrote many of the songs

[cavs608]

@67lbpunk what is the new invention that i just observed then?

[Smersh01]

@indigocenter He played with them for a short time, around the time of their second album, I believe. He also played later for a band named Bessie Mae's Dream.

I imagine making movie, 3 guys robbing a bank, 4th watching outside, fires a cigarette, and in 0:39 he sees a unit of cops driving in a distant stright to him (in slow motion), he runs to the bank doors, and yell to the rest, they all got in a car, and drive, wide view (all in slow motion). :D

@azmo13 check out pink fairies...........th first and third lp are really good...........so is the 60s

[azmo13]

@posthumanhero I stand by my original statement, but yeah.... I can accept that. Even though I think the Elevators are technically better, I listen to the Deviants more often. I also just found out yesterday that Mick Farren had a hand in the early formation of Motorhead and co-wrote a song on their Overkill album. That was unexpected.

[indigocenter]

Was there a member by the name of Danny Thomas? I met him in 1969 and he said he played with them.

[67Stu]

NO! Nirvana's Rape Me sounds like this!

[akibubba1]

my favorite elevators tune - perhaps "pfordsq" has been watching too much Leave It To Beaver ? - (that would be a cool obscure line, though...)

[carreragt90]

@ilipsoussan  you mean, nirvana's riff sounds like this. Think about that...
