Jefferson Airplane

Jefferson Airplane were one of my favorite bands when I was young and living in Salinas. I had their first four albums: Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, Surrealistic Pillow, After Bathing at Baxter's, and Crown of Creation.

See Favorites on the Music page for some Airplane music.

Lyrics from Crown of Creation:

The House at Pooneil Corners

You and me, we keep walking around and we see
All the bullshit around us
You try and keep your mind on whats going down
Cant help but see the rhinoceros around us

Then you wonder what you can be
And you do what you can to get far and high
And you know I'm still gonna need you around
And you know I'm still gonna need you around

You say it's healing, but nobodys feeling it
Somebodys dealing, somebodys stealing
And you say you don't see and you don't
You say you won't know and you won't when it comes

Everything someday will be gone except silence
The earth will be quiet again
Seas from clouds will wash off the ashes of violence
Left as the memory of men
There will be no survivors, my friend

Suddenly everyone will look surprised
Stars spinning wheels in the skies
Sun is scrambled in their eyes
And the moon circles like a vulture

Someone stood at the window and cried one tear
I thought that would stop the war, but someone is killing me (you)
That's the last time I do think anymore
Jelly and juice and bubbles bubbles on the floor

Castles on cliffs vanished
Just like heaps of rubbish
Seen from the stars hour upon hour
As splinters, dust, and black flowers

From here to heaven is a scar
Dead center, deep as death
All the idiots have left
The idiots have left

Cows are almost cooing
Turtle doves are mooing
Which is why a Pooh is poohing
In the sun
Sun
