About House at Pooneil Corners

"The House at Pooneil Corners" is a song by the American rock group Jefferson Airplane which first appeared on their album Crown of Creation as the eleventh and final track, and also appears on their album The Roar of Jefferson Airplane alongside the similarly named song "The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil". Unlike "The Ballad", "The House At Pooneil Corners" was mainly written by Marty Balin and not Paul Kantner. The song was the only one Jefferson Airplane were able to complete when, while being filmed by Jean-Luc Godard (for his project One A. M., later repurposed and released as One P. M.) performing on the roof of the Schuyler Hotel in New York City in 1968, the police stopped the show. The band also closed their 1969 Woodstock performance with the tune. more »

You and me we keep walkin' around and we see 
All the bullshit around us 
You try and keep your mind on what's going down 
Can't help but see the rhinoceros around us 
And you wonder what you can be 
And you do what you can 
To get bald and high 
And you know I'm still goin' need you around 
You say it's healing but nobody's feeling it 
Somebody's dealing, somebody's stealing it 
You say you don't see and you don't 
You say you won't know and you won't let it come 
Everything someday will be gone except silence 
Earth will be quiet again 
Seas from clouds will wash off the ashes of violence 
Left as the memory of men 
There will be no survivor my friend 
Suddenly everyone will look surprised 
Stars spinning wheels in the skies 
Sun is scrambled in their eyes 
While the moon circles like a vulture 
Some stood at a window and cried 
'One tear I thought that should stop a war 
But someone is killing me' 
That's the last hour to think anymore 
Jelly and juice and bubbles, bubbles on the floor 
Castles on the cliffs vanish 
Cliffs like heaps of rubbish 
Seen from the stars hour by hour 
As splintered scraps and black powder 
From here to heaven is a scar 
Dead center, deep as death 
All the idiots have left 
The cows are almost cooing 
Turtle doves are mooing 
Which is why a poo is pooing 
In the sun 
Sun
