Where have all the good times gone?

Crazy car driver
Amphetamine streaked
Kool-aid smiler
Where are you now?

Are you cruising the heavens
on your elektra glide?
Is Kerouac with you?
Is Ginsberg by your side?

And where oh where is Old Bull Lee?

Just like those old days
Searching for tea
I'm tired of fire watching
Won't you take me?

Gaillard's the voutest
Lady Sings the Blues
Take me with you
I've got karma in my shoes

We'll ride, yes we'll ride
Right to the end - then
Turn right round and go back again

Kesey sits alone
On his great big bus
A cuckoo in his nest
Wearing a truss

Baseball cap askance
Banjo on his knee
Dreaming of the past
High on LSD

Sometimes a great notion
Sometimes a clown
Sometimes I get the urge
To jump in the river and drown

There's no fire in the forest
Time to come down from the mountain
Goodnight Neal, Goodnight Jack,
Goodnight Alan, Goodnight Bill

Irene goodnight.
