Livin' On - Original - The 13th Floor Elevators

If you see me rockin'

It’s that the times are right

I’m bringing in my stocking

If the score is tight

I may drop in and plant smoke stacks

Good livin', it leaves no tracks

What’s ugly, it’s wrong

So I’m just livin' on

I hear you talking

You’re only poppin' spit

Automatic walking

Through a

Your dingy, it just circles insane

You take the Lord’s name in vain

Dead-end kings have come

Livin’s off, not livin' on

Livin' on past the ice age

And walrus harpoons

Livin' on past the space age

And the yellow balloons

In the age of the exit

Are the movin' cartoons

Bringing you right along

Helping you livin' on

If you miss my special

And help me out alone

Be sure to keep me level

I’m talking on my own

So don’t be taken by what I say

If it’s too rigid to go away

But you’re never really gone

You’re only livin' on

If you miss my watching

Sometimes I’m catchin' all I can

In the steady watching

Of the prophet’s plan, oh

And the good life of live they foretell

Will keep us our souls very well

In the wisdom of right ever long

And the spirit of us livin' on
