That’s It for the Other One (Live at Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, August 1968)
[Cryptical Envelopment/Quodlibet For Tender Feet]
[Verse]
The other day they waited, the sky was dark and faded
Solemnly they stated, "He has to die"
And ll the children learnin', from books that they were burnin'
Every leaf was turnin'; to watch him die
The summer sun looked down on him, his mother could but frown on him
And all the others sound on him, but it doesn't seem to matter
And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended
His mind remained unbended, he had to die
[Instrumental Break]
[The Faster We Go, the Rounder We Get a.k.a. The Other One]
[Verse 1]
Spanish lady comes to me, she lays on me this rose
It rainbow spirals round and round it trembles and explodes
It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away
But the heat came 'round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day
[Chorus]
Comin', comin', comin' around (Comin' around)
Comin' around (Comin' around)
Comin' (Comin'), comin' (Comin'), comin' around (Comin' around)
Comin' around (Comin' around)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Skippin' through the lily fields I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in it's place
The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began
There was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to Never Ever Land
[Chorus]
Comin', comin', comin' around (Comin' around)
Comin' around (Comin' around)
Comin' (Comin'), comin' (Comin'), comin' around (Comin' around)
Comin' around (Comin' around)
[Cryptical Envelopment Reprise]
[Outro]
And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended
Their minds remained unbended
He had to die
[Instrumental Break]
You know he had to die, he had to die, he had to die
You know he had to
He had to die, he had to die, you know he had to die
You know he had to die
[Instrumental]
