Suns going down on the flower bloom
People dancing through the last of the doom
Once we had a vision once we had a dream
Now its all unraveling tearing at the seam
Faces painted bright but hearts growing cold
Pretty lies unraveling truths too bold
The love we worshipped now feels so far
Lost in smoke and in a dying star
Hippie dream fading in the twilight haze
Once we believed in those golden days
But the love revolution slipped through our fingers
Final flicker only the memory lingers
Marching barefoot down the broken street
Drums still pounding but we meet defeat
Voices rise up but now they sound thin
Reality crashing making our heads spin
Peace and love man it's all we ever wanted
But the world's a beast and it's been taunted
Every utopia disappoints in the end
Now we're just ghosts without amends
Hippie dream crumbling in the midnight air
The myth shattered beyond repair
Emerald visions turning to rust
Final flicker drifting into dust
