INCENSE AND PEPPERMINT ~ THE STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK ~ (Lyrics)

Strawberry Alarm Clock was a American psychedelic pop band that formed in Los Angeles, California in 1966.

Incense and Peppermint is a tune that seemed to be one of those songs from the past that remains with me to this day...This was my first success with importing animated imagery...This was an era that I grew up in...and, being able to put the tune to images now...represents the past that will be forever with those of us who lived it...I just wanted to share this time period with those that remember, but most of all for those that will hear it for the first time..

Lyrics:

Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win but nothin' to lose

Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around

Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah, yeah!

To divide this cockeyed world in two
Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do
Beatniks and politics, nothing is new
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win but nothin' to lose

Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win but nothin' to lose

Incense and peppermints
Incense and peppermints
