David Byrne
Psychedelic Afternoon
[Verse 1]
If you see someone with crazy hair
Well that’s my grandpa
And if you hear some singing from upstairs
It’s only grandpa

All night long
The music played
The same old songs
But my grandpa’s cool with me

[Chorus]
Psychedelic afternoon
Let’s all sing a hippie tune
I will sing my song for you
My grandpa taught to me, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
The clouds stick in my hair and in my eyes
In thirty flavors
I tried to taste them all, I can’t decide
Which one is better

The girl will smile
The whole day long
She can see
Why my grandpa’s cool with me
[Chorus]
Psychedelic afternoon
Let’s all sing a hippie tune
I will sing my song for you
My grandpa taught to me, oh yeah

[Bridge]
Love train, flashlight
Airplane, blue skies
Chocolate, justice
Freedom, romance

[Verse 3]
The weeds have grown
Up to the windowsill
In sunny weather
We take off all our clothes and laugh until
Our eyeballs water

We could dance
And fall in love
And you could see
Why my grandpa’s cool with me

[Chorus]
Psychedelic afternoon
Let’s all sing a hippie tune
I will sing my song for you
My grandpa taught to me, oh yeah
Psychedelic afternoon
Let’s all sing a hippie tune
I will sing my song for you
My grandpa taught to me
