Jefferson Airplane The House At Pooneil Corners Lyrics

The House At Pooneil Corners Lyrics

You and me, we keep walking around and we see
All the bullshit around
us.
You try and keep your mind on what’s going down,
Can’t
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 nobody’s feeling
it.
Somebody’s dealing, somebody’s 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
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.
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…
