My Hallucination Songtext

von Tommy Shaw

Manson lived, Lennon died
You don't know the reason why
I'm cryin'

Thirty years enough time for me
Tell me who shot Kennedy
I'm dying'

Long tall Sally
She comes and goes
Got diamond rings
All through her nose
Is that all we were fighting for?

Somewhere in my hallucination
I thought we were giving peace a chance
But what's a revolution
When the music plays
And no one wants to dance

We paid the price in Vietnam
While crosses burned in Birmingham
I'm sighing

In Memphis now the church bells ring
While L.A. crowns a different king
Can't we all get along

Hi-ho silver
Don't you know
I just got faxed from Tokyo
Is that what we're still fighting for?

Somewhere in my hallucination
I thought we were giving peace a chance
But what's a revolution
When the music plays
And no one wants to dance
Fat chance

Goin' insane with the fun you've had
Who's to blame when it all goes bad
You never know, whoo
Where you gonna go, whoo

Slidin' down on a greasy rope
Check your watch
There goes your hope
Of hangin' on yeah

In Yasger's farm
A flower grows
And where it stops
Nobody knows
I'm flying

Somewhere in my hallucination
I thought we were giving peace a chance
So much for resolution

In my hallucination
I heard someone singing
All you need is love
But all I see
Is war and hate
Well I wonder if we'll ever get enough
