Timothy Leary Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ryan Miller]
I closed the door and stepped into the city
The city stepped right back to me
There's cracks on every sidewalk of this city
Like licking lips to swallow me
[Pre-Chorus 1: Miller]
This is a sea of cars on the road
Lined up like bottles, shook up, ready to explode
With feathers and string and wax I made wings
I climbed up a building, crossed my heart, and took a leap
[Chorus: Miller]
One single voice makes a deafening sound
You can be anything this time around
[Verse 2: Miller]
I flew across the sea to an island
I wrestled down an old King Kong
I rescued maidens captive on that island
Hero in a uniform
[Pre-Chorus 2: Miller]
My conscience was clean and taking control
A model American just doing what he's told
And dusty old crates, and my father's tapes
But Timothy Leary said the words which led the way
[Chorus: Miller]
One single voice makes a deafening sound
You can be anything this time around
You can be anything this time around
I won't go quietly this time around
