1
The three of us stood there reverent and silent
2
While others went by in a hurry
3
And we posed for a picture under the sign reading
4
"Haight and Ashbury"
5
It was me and Wierd Joe and Sweet Mary Ann
6
Who spent the night before with a bottle in her hand
7
And Joe laughed out cause she wasn't the first to throw up there
8
We stood for a moment and tried to imagine
9
What life was like on that street
10
And when I closed my eyes I thought I heard the sounds
11
Of a thousand marching feet
12
Then Mary Ann came up and took my hand
13
And softly she whispered "this is where it began
14
Peace and free love and free drugs and free minds
15
How could they leave nirvana behind?"
16
Her words echo in my mind
17
Did they leave it all behind?
18
Ghosts I see ghosts
19
Ghosts I see ghosts
20
I see spirits on the street, spirits from the past
21
Spirits in search of their lost other half
22
I see ghosts
23
Mary Ann went shopping for bargains on incense
24
And crystals and organic food
25
While Joe and I stopped to question a local
26
At the risk of sounding rude
27
He said, "I used to be a hippy, but now I'm just hip,
28
And I leave the armchair now when I trip,
29
And though I may be a lawyer, I still don't eat animals."
30
I said, "Hey mister, I don't trust no one!"
31
He said, "Neither did I, until I turned thirty-one."
32
This is the pilgrimage of our disenchantment
33
This is the place where passion led to contentment
34
Sweet May Ann I love you, but do we stand a chance?
35
Maybe every generation is doomed to the Ghost Dance
36
And as we left I swore upon my youth
37
That I'd never except a compromise over truth
