Psychedelic Pulchritude* Of The Monkees

______________________________________________________________________________________

Daily, Nightly

First rock recording to feature the Moog synthesizer

Darkened, rolling figures
move through prisms of no color

Hand-in-hand, they walk the night
but never know each other

Passioned pastel neon lights
light up the jeweled traveler

Who, lost in scenes of smoke-filled dreams
find questions, but no answers

Startled eyes that sometimes
see phantasmagoric splendor

Pirouette down palsied paths
with pennies for the vendor

Salvation's yours for just the time
it takes to pay the dancer

And once again such anxious men
find questions, but no answers

The night has gone and taken it's infraction
While saddened eyes hope there will be a next one

Sahara signs look down upon
a world that glitters glibly

And mountain sides put arms around
the unsuspecting city

Second hands that minds have slowed
are moving even faster

Toward bringing down someone who's found
the questions, but no answers

The editor, on a presumptous note
considers it his duty
to define the word PULCHRITUDE...
it simply means beauty
