Fifth Dimension 1966

2-4-2 Foxtrot (the Lear Jet Song)

(repeat 11 times)

Go 'n ride the lear jet, baby
Go 'n ride the lear jet
Go 'n ride the lear jet, baby

Eight Miles High

Eight miles high and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own

Nowhere is there warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town known for its sound
In places small faces unbound

Round the squares huddled in storms
Some laughing some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
Some living some standing alone

Fifth Dimension

Oh, how is it that i could come out to here,
And be still floatin',
And never hit bottom but keep fallin' through,
Just relaxed and paying attention?

All my two-dimensional boundaries are gone,
I have lost to them badly,
I saw that through. crumbling, i thought it was dead,
But i found my senses still working.
And as i continued to drop through the hole,
I found all surrounding,
To show me that joy innocently is,
Just be quiet and feel it around you.

(bridge)
And i opened my heart to the whole universe,
And i found it was loving,
And i saw the great blunder my teachers had made,
Scientific delirium madness.

I will keep falling as long as i live,
Ah, without ending,
And i will remember the place that is now,
That has ended before the beginning ...

(repeat first verse)

Hey Joe (where You Gonna Go?)

Hey joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
Hey joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
I'm gonna find my woman, she's runnin' around with some other man

I'm gonna go down town buy me a blue steel 44
I'm gonna go down town, gonna buy me a blue steel 44
When i find my woman she's not gonna run any more

Mmm, hey joe, i hear you shot your woman dead
Hey joe, i hear you've shot your woman dead
Yes, i did, you know, i found them both in the same damned bed

Hey joe, where you gonna go?
Ah, hey joe, where you gonna go?
I guess i go to my favourite mexico

I guess i go down where a man can be free
Yes, i guess i go down where a man can be free
Ain't no damned old hangman gonna put a noose around me, babe

Hey joe, where are you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey joe, where are you goin' with all of that cash?

Mmm
Mmm

 I Come And Stand At Every Door

Written by n.hikmet

I come and stand at every door
But no one hears my silent prayer
I knock and yet remain unseen
For i am dead, for i am dead
I'm only seven although i died
In hiroshima long ago
I'm seven now as i was then
When children die they do not grow
My hair was scorched by swirling flame
My eyes grew dim my eyes grew blind
Death came and turned my bones to dust
And that was scattered by the wind
I need no fruit i need no rice
I need no sweets nor even bread
I ask for nothing for myself
For i am dead, for i am dead
All that i ask for is for peace
You fight today, you fight today
So that the children of this world
May live and grow and laugh and play

I Know My Rider

Arranged by mcguinn/clark/crosby

Well, i know my rider's gonna miss me when i'm gone
Well, i know my rider's gonna miss me when i'm gone
She's gonna miss her loving daddy from rollin' in her arms
When you see me coming, better hoist your window high (your window high)
When you see me coming, better hoist your window high (your window high)
When you see, you see me leaving, better hang down your head and cry
Well, i know my rider, she's bound to love me some (to love me some)
Well, i know my rider, she's bound to love me some (to love me some)
She use to throw her arms around me like a circle around the sun

Well, i know my rider's gonna miss me when i'm gone (when i'm gone)
Well, i know my rider's gonna miss me when i'm gone (when i'm gone)
She's gonna miss her loving daddy from rollin' in her arms
Well, i know my rider's gonna miss me when i'm gone (when i'm gone)
Well, i know my rider's gonna miss me when i'm gone (when i'm gone)
She's gonna miss her loving daddy from rollin' in her arms

I See You

Written by mcguinn-crosby

I see you
Under there behind your hair
Everywhere, i see you

I see you
Turned on eyes can't tell lies
Empathise, i see you
Warm sliding sun through the cave of your hair
Wind washing fields kind of space living there
I see you

I know you
Met before, seventh floor
First world war, i know you

Who lives there?
Tell old fair i'm aware
That she cares, who lives there?

Green specks bright spiralling out in the sky
Catch my mind, turn my head, have to look, don't know why
Who lives there?

We thought how
For a while they just smile
Just a silent thought

I see you
Sun is there behind your hair
Everywhere, i see you
I see you

John Riley

Written by gibson/neff arranged by mcguinn/crosby

Fair young maid all in her garden
Strange young man came riding by
Saying: "fair young maid, will you marry me?"
This then, sir, was her reply

"oh no, kind sir, i cannot marry thee
For i've a love who sails the deep salt sea
Though he's been gone these seven years
Still no man shall marry me"

"what if he's died all in some battle slain
Or if he's drowned in, in the deep salt sea?
What if he's found some other love
He and his new love both married be?"

"if he's found some other love
He and his new love both married be
I wish them health and happiness
Where they have love far across the sea"

He picked her up all in his arms
And kisses gave her one, two and three
"then weep no more, my own true love
I am your long lost john riley"
Saying: "weep no more, my own true love
For i'm your long lost john riley"

Mr. Spaceman

Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light coming down from the sky
I don't know who or why

Must be those strangers that come every night
Those saucer shaped lights put people uptight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home all right

Hey, mr. spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, mr. spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride

Woke up this morning, i was feeling quite wierd
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window, they'd written my name
Said, so long, we'll see you again

Hey, mr. spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, mr. spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride

Hey, mr. spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, mr. spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride

What's Happening?!?!

I don't know who you think you are
I don't know what you're doing here

I don't know what's going on here
I don't know how it's supposed to be

I, i don't have the vaguest notion
Whose it is or what it's all for

I don't know, i'm not cryin'
Laughin' mostly as you can see

Why?

Written by mcguinn/crosby

Keep sayin' no to her since she was a baby
Keep sayin' no to her, not even maybe
Why?
Why?

You say there's a limit there, she can't go past that
She don't believe you, she don't think that's where it's at
Why?
Why?

Say she can't change that, it's the way you've always done it
She don't care about that, she thinks you've just begun it
Why?
Why?

You say it's a dead old world, cold and unforgiving
I don't know where you live but you're not living
Why?
Why?

Keep sayin' no to her since she was a baby
Keep sayin' no to her, not even maybe
Why?
Why?

Wild Mountain Thyme

Oh, the summer time is coming
And the leaves are sweetly turning
And the wild mountain thyme
Blooms across the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go

If you will not go with me
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go
