The first track off of CAN’s critically acclaimed Tago Mago. This track sets the overall tone for much of album. Jaki’s tribal-pounding drumming leads the music along with Suzuki’s choppy lyrics that border both spirituality and insanity, resulting in an increasingly eerie atmosphere.
The album has...
[Verse 1]
Take a light shining on the land off the wall
Up and down, think of anything, what you feel is all gone
You can make everything what you want with your head
You’re OK and be aware, everywhere with your mind
[Verse 2]
Two times, goodbye love, you’re sorting out your room
Too many savage songs laugh at him today
Playing everything, you and your mind
The flying paperhouse, way back on the sky
[Breakdown]
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
You just can't give back no more
[Verse 3]
And you don't think anything makes you feel so bad
You can make everything what you want with your head
And you don't think anything makes you feel so great
You can make everything what you want with your head
[Verse 4]
Flying paperhouse comes down from the sky
Every day my paperhouse reaches out, comes in
Every day my paperhouse, coming in, reaching out
Every day my paperhouse, coming in, reaching out
