Cant Come Down

From the complete studio rarities collection. My favorite Pigpen vocal. Originally recorded as the Warlocks One weird chord here in the chorus on the word "down" = xx0202 OR x20202 OR 120202 (Phil puts an in the bass the first chorus and in bass after that) If you hit a quick low E note on last upstroke between VERSE chords it helps timing and follows the bass line [Intro]        |        |        |        | [Verse 1] I’m flying down deserted streets Wrapped in mother’s windin’ sheets Asbestos boots on flaming feet Dreaming of forbidden treats When uniforms on nighttime beats ask me where I’m going and what I eat. I answer them with a voice so sweet [Chorus] I can’t come down it’s plain to see. I can’t come down I’ve been set free. Who you are and what you do won’t make no difference to me.   [Verse 2] Well someone’s trying to tell me where it’s at how I do this and why I do that With secret smiles like a Chesire cat And leather wings like a vampire bat I fly away to my cold water flat and eat my way through a bowl of fat And I say to the man with the funny hat [Chorus] I can’t come down it’s plain to see. I can’t come down I’ve been set free. Who you are and what you do won’t make no difference to me.   [Verse 3] They say I’ve begun to lose my grip My hold on reality is starting to slip They tell me to get off this trip They say its like a sinking ship Life’s sweet wine’s too warm to sip And if I drink I’ll surely flip I just say as I take a nip [Chorus] I can’t come down it’s plain to see. I can’t come down I’ve been set free. Who you are and what you do won’t make no difference to me.   [Verse 4] So as I dream of cotton seas Of granite walls and redwood trees An ugly eye that only sees Endless mirrors and infinite me’s and about the winter’s coming freeze This afterthought I say with ease To all of you who made your pleas. [Chorus] I can’t come down it’s plain to see. I can’t come down I’ve been set free. Who you are and what you do won’t make no difference to me.
