The Other One [Pacific Northwest ’73-’74] Lyrics
The other day they waited
The sky was dark and faded
Solemnly they stated
"He has to die
You know he has to die"
And all the children learning
From books that they were burning
Every leaf was turning
To watch him die
You know he has to die
The summer sun looked down on him
His mother could but frown on him
And all the other 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
You know he had to die
Spanish lady come to me
She lays on me this rose
It rainbow spirals round and round
It trembles and explodes
The sky was dark and faded
Solemnly they stated
"He has to die
You know he has to die"
And all the children learning
From books that they were burning
Every leaf was turning
To watch him die
You know he has to die
The summer sun looked down on him
His mother could but frown on him
And all the other 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
You know he had to die
Spanish lady come 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
Coming, coming, coming around (coming around)
Coming around in a circle (coming around)
Coming (coming), coming (coming), coming around (coming around)
Coming around in a circle (coming around)
Escaping through the lily fields
I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded
Left a bus stop in its place
The bus came by and I got on
That's when it all began
There was cowboy Neal at the wheel
Of a bus to never-ever land
Coming, coming, coming around (coming around)
Coming around in a circle (coming around)
Coming (coming), coming (coming), coming around (coming around)
Coming around in a circle (coming around)
And when the day had ended
With rainbow colors blended
His mind remained unbended
He had to die
You know he had to die
I like to blow away
But the heat came ‘round and busted me
For smiling on a cloudy day
Coming, coming, coming around (coming around)
Coming around in a circle (coming around)
Coming (coming), coming (coming), coming around (coming around)
Coming around in a circle (coming around)
Escaping through the lily fields
I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded
Left a bus stop in its place
The bus came by and I got on
That's when it all began
There was cowboy Neal at the wheel
Of a bus to never-ever land
Coming, coming, coming around (coming around)
Coming around in a circle (coming around)
Coming (coming), coming (coming), coming around (coming around)
Coming around in a circle (coming around)
And when the day had ended
With rainbow colors blended
His mind remained unbended
He had to die
You know he had to die
He had to die
You know he had to die
He had to die
Well, you know he had to die
You know he had to die
He had to die
Well, you know he had to die
