Deadfall



Ken Kesey & Acid Trips
On the road with the Dead
Dead Head a pride
Day & Night no divide

Mornings in Miami
Starting with a bottle ofKen Kesey & Acid Trips
On the road with the Dead
Dead Head a pride
Day & Night no divide

Mornings in town or city
Starting with a bottle of Whiskey
Guitar and Jerry the key
Opening consciousness and to just be

Robert Hunter and his words
Alphabets  tied together to form lyrics
Concert  full and overflowing
The dead on stage jamming

Clued to nothing
Blown by smoking
Coco puff in Tobacco
Empty the cigarette
More to blow

Album & live
Different in style
Grateful dead every style
Added on to the pile
Solo riffs from the lead guitar
Not adhering to the album
In daytime make you reach
For the star that left with night

Criss cross
Country across
Stopping at every city
No deadline no duty
Even play for free
Everyone happy
Talent used rare in kind
Raise the Spectrum for Mankind

Hell's Angels on Wheels
Bouncer and Bodyguard roles performed
Did it out of respect
Played hosts to all the guests

Beat generations representation
Grateful dead concert
Manifestation
Weir Kreutzman Lesh
Pigpen Hart Garcia
Born for  creating music
To all ears sheer magic

Tapes recorded in concert
Exchanged freely with cohorts
Download culture foreseen
No restrictions only Solution
Business model at Harvard
Set the standard to move forward

From the Vault
Bears picks
Dicks picks
Dave's picks
Road Trips
Dead set
The above a list
Hear them first
Time it ends
New ones up

Live Dead
Dead Live
God I need a Miracle
To see the Dead Live Whiskey

Opening consciousness and to just be
