Lyrics

ACID ANNIE
(Eleni Kelakos)
Copyright 2003 Leg E Cat Music, ASCAP

Acid Annie, wearing tie-dye, dries her long hair in the sun
Silver tendrils, curling crazy, like a halo roughly spun.
And she wears a crown of daisies, butter yellow, green and white,
And the breeze tastes like the ocean, as a hummingbird takes flight.

Acid Annie of the Redwoods makes her candles one by one,
And the bees buzz round the hot wax, and the wind chimes dance a song.
And she stirs her colors madly, china blue and ruby wine-
She has conjured in this cabin since the spring of '69.

Seasons they pass, no time at all,
Summer of love fades into fall.

Acid Annie drives a mustang, battered bumper, rusted chrome,
And her baby son is twenty, and he's living on his own.
And the poster with the peace sign curls up brittle on the wall,
And her jeans are worn reminders of a dream she can't recall.

Seasons they pass, no time at all
Summer of love fades into fall.

And her old man lives in Fresno, he wears a suit and tie;
He left when she turned thirty-one and never told her why.
She sells her colored candles, weekends in the park,
Smokes homegrown marijuana in the dark.

Acid Annie has a laptop, surfs the chatrooms just for fun,
Does her hikes and meditations, drives to Starbucks when she's done.
And she spins a stack of vinyl, 33's and 45's-
When she sings along to Janis, man, she really comes alive

Seasons they pass, no time at all,
Summer of Love fades into fall.
