Roller Coaster - 13th Floor Elevators

Roller Coaster

Once, somewhere, sometime ago
His eyes were clear to see,
He put his thoughts into my mind,
And gave my self to be
He stopped me from living so unsane,
I could be just what I want to be,
Things appear as they really are,
I can see just what I wanted to see

Come on, and let it happen to you
I say, I say come on, and let it happen to you
You gotta open up your mind
And let everything come through...
Come on yeah!

Well it starts like a roller coaster ride,
So real it takes your breath away
It slides you through your point of view,
You look back to where you thought you'd stayed
Your ride changes outside view,
While it glides you like a neon ray,
And you find you don't have to search for words,
For there's nothing to be said

Come on, you gotta let it happen to you
Hey, come on, and let it happen to you
You gotta open up your mind
And let everything come through...

After you trip life opens up,
You start doing what you want to do
And you find out that the world that you once feared,
Gets what it has from you
No one can ever hurt you
But you know more than you thought you knew
And you're looking at the world
With brand new eyes,
And no one can ever spoil the view

Come on, and let it happen to you
Hey, hey, hey come on, and let it happen to you
You gotta open up your mind
And let everything come through...

Open up your mind,
Let everything come through...

This is my favorite song ever - this group truly understood psychedelia and were able to take it somwhere ...this song captures it ...

Oh really, and why exactly would this same exact symbolism be on our money? Makes no fucking sense.

I heard a nice and clean version, with newer instruments, which also included digital instruments.

I can't find this newer version anywhere.

I heard it on the radio and google'd "come on and let it happen to you", and found this original.

I can't find the other song anywhere. i don't even know if it's a re-recording made by The 13th Floor Elevators, or a different band's cover.

It was not Spacemen 3, because they covered this song twice, and the one I heard on the radio was not one of them.

I'd like it better if it was an instrumental.
