Lyrics The Grasshopper Song - Barry McGuire

The Grasshopper Song

Life like we lived it is leaving
I don’t think we’re achieving
What we had in mind
We sit back, relax and even
Though we don’t know what’s leaving
We’re waving good bye
Mike was a rock’n’roll star with a golden one on the hollywood boulevard,
If you asked me
O.t.
would have made a great big movie if he had had the money,
But he hadn’t
Tony was the new philosopher if they had only let her
They did not let her
Jenny was trying to do her own radio show — i mean she was
Ready to go
And no one i know is still trying to go where he wanted
Where he wanted
Before they think it’s too late and they can no longer wait they have landed
Stranded
I see anyone around seeking safer ground — they can’t find it
They won’t find it
The grasshopper and me, we’re not willing to see
What they all call winter
Life like we lived it is leaving
I don’t think we’re achieving
What we had in mind
We sit back, relax and even
Though we don’t know what’s leaving
We’re waving good bye
Life like we lived it is leaving
I don’t think we’re achieving
What we had in mind
We sit back, relax and even
Though we are down we’re believing
That we can’t get high
