Magic Carpet Ride – Steppenwolf

“Magic Carpet Ride” Lyrics

I like to dream, yes, yes
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
To the stars away from here
 
Well, you don’t know what-a
We can find
Why don’t you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
 
You don’t know what
We can see
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
 
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
 
Last night I held Aladdin’s lamp
So I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
 
I looked
All around
A lousy candle’s all I found
 
Well, you don’t know what-a
We can find
Why don’t you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
 
Well, you don’t know what
We can see
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
 
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
 
You don’t know what-a
We can find
Why don’t you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
 
You don’t know what-a
We can find
What don’t you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
