Their energetic and experimental sound, fronted by vocalist Roky Erickson, combined elements of rock, blues, and folk with psychedelic influences. The band released a few albums and achieved moderate success before disbanding in 1969. Despite a relatively short-lived career, The 13th Floor Elevators left a lasting impact on the psychedelic rock scene. more »

Mmm Down south where they use the Slide machine,
And gods of gold are heard but seldom seen,
And here I've been just stuck up in between,

Trying to, trying to, trying to get back to you
Trying to, trying to, trying to get back to you

Well the slide machine it sweeps stones right off the road,
For the tandem trucks and loads that they towed,
And me, I've just been looking for one going slow

Trying to, trying to, trying to get back to you
Trying to, trying to, trying to get back to you

My woman here, she's got a dozen names,
Well, she is sought by soldiers and
They try to keep her tamed,
And her rewards will leave them just the same,

Trying to, trying to, trying to get back to you
Trying to, trying to, trying to get back to you

Well I've been down South where they use the Slide machine,
Where the gods of gold are heard but seldom seen,
And here I've been just stuck up in between,

Trying to, trying to, trying to get back to you
Trying to, trying to, trying to get back to you
