Lyrics: McDonald, Melton
Music: McDonald, Melton
Played by the Dinosaurs when Robert Hunter was a member, though with Barry Melton singing.
Well, I ain't gonna say that I'm the seventh son
I don't claim to be a spoonful of fun
But if you want a special friend, just call and I'll come
I'll turn the forest of night into a park where we can play
Walk you in flowers and dress you in jade
And then turn back a bad trip and make it yesterday
I've got a chemical body, an electric brain
A rebuilt mind on a guaranteed frame
I can read the truth in the cracks in the walls
And tell your future baby
By the way, by the way that the plaster falls
By the way the plaster falls
By the way the plaster falls
Well, I ain't gonna say that I'm the seventh son
I don't claim to be a spoonful of fun
But if you want a special friend, just call and I'll come
I'll turn the forest of night into a park where we can play
Walk you in flowers and dress you in jade
And then turn back a bad trip and make it yesterday
I've got a chemical body, an electric brain
A rebuilt mind on a guaranteed frame
I can read the truth in the cracks in the walls
And tell your future baby
By the way, by the way that the plaster falls
By the way the plaster falls
By the way the plaster falls
By the way the plaster falls
Plaster falls
