I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

A rock classic in every sense of the word!
-
Between this song and Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee", they get me motivated to go to work!
-
@denxero Obviously it's YOU who doesn't know anything about rock. The middle IS boring because it's just an acid induced jam that has no merit musically or otherwise. I still perform this song live & cut out the overplayed, boring middle part. Other than that, this is still one of the best studio recordings to date.

John Kay was inspired to write this when he was trying out his new record player. Laying between the speakers, amazed by the sound, the words began to flow

this song came on the radio when i went in for a test drive on the new mustang... couldnt have been any better.
-
This is trippy
-

@RetardedxVideo you probably dont understand anything about rock then... It's from 2:00 that the song finally becomes interesting after 2 mins of boring and non original singing.
-
