The Red Telephone & Arthur Lee

______________________________________________________________________________________


FOREVER CHANGES
was one of the greatest
albums in the history
of a thing called
Rock & Roll

Arthur Lee & LOVE
may be the greatest
band too goddam
many people
ignore



Arthur Lee
Arthur Lee
Arthur Lee

I have said it thrice
This song must be nice




RED TELEPHONE

Arthur Lee (1946-2005)
I believe in magic
Why? Because it is so quick
I don't need power when I'm hypnotized
Look in my eyes

What are you seeing? I see
How do you feel?
Feel real phony when my name is Phil
Or was that Bill?

Life goes on here
Day after day
I don't know if I am living
Or if I'm supposed to be

Sometimes my life is so eerie
And if you think I'm happy
Paint me shwack

I've been here once
I've been here twice
I don't know if the third's the fourth
Or if the the fifth's to fix

Sometimes I deal 
with numbers
And if you wanna count me
Count me out
