LYSERGIC MELODIES

Paul Kantner named this melodic folk-rocker in reference to the songs chord progression and the numerical part '25' is the designation chemist Albert Hofmann assigned to his best known chemical discovery LSD-25. DCBA 25 is one of the most overlooked Airplane songs . It foretells of the great song writing that Kantner would contribute to the fold. Paul was and still is the mainstay of the band and his songs deliver a vivid imagination and thought provoking works. DCBA is from the Pillow LP

DCBA - 25

I must move away
set me free
I must move away
leave you be...
time's been good to us, my friend
wait and see how it will end
we come and go as we please...
we come and go as we please...
that's how it must be
Here in crystal chandelier, I'm home
too many days, I've left unstoned
if you doubt my happiness
what full pleasure feels in the Sun
ah, don't you know I'm runnin' home...
don't you know I'm runnin' home...
to a place to you unknown?
I take great peace in your sitting there
searching for myself, I find a place there
I see the people of the world
where they are and what they could be...
I can but dance behind your smile...
I can but dance behind your smile...
you were the world to me for a while
