Jefferson Airplane Alexander The Medium Lyrics

Alexander The Medium Lyrics

When the time does come near again

When the day does seem clear again

Make it in the night time

The dreams ands in the light time

All of you come away

Just a bow shot away

Let me tell you 'bout a story now

A tale of glory and power

And I don't even know your name

But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same

We are all creatures of fame, lightness and liberty

In the times of the olden times

Of ancient ladies and maritime splendor

Priests of Karnak and Thebes

Could walk through the ocean and the seas

When the pyramid she would sigh

The waters streamed from the sky

The ocean you know is your firend

Your brother and sister just as sure as sin

Put your hands in the water

Rest your feet on the sea

You don't have to let your body die

You can come back again if you try, if you try

This song was made then by you and me

A billion years before these oceans rolled

Oh I can see you burning brightly

You shine like silver like sun gold

And a hundred years from today

All you people will be gone away

Down into the heart of the sea

Bak to the time of wonderwhy you and me

And I don't even know your name

But I thought I'd tell you all about it just the same

If you laugh real hard you win the game - hands down

Before old Alexander 'twas just the same as now

Can you smell the blood of fame, lightness and liberty?
