Lyrics: Steve Miller
Music: Steve Miller
Played by Phil Lesh and Friends (billed as "Telstar") as part of an
experimental set on 12 April 2008. John Molo, Steve Molitz and trumpeter
Willie Waldman played with Phil.
Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping
Into the future
Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping
Into the future
Chorus
I want to fly like an eagle to the sea
Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle till I'm free
Fly, lord, through the revolution
Feed the babies who don't have enough to eat
Shoe the children with no shoes on their feet
House the people living in the street
Oh, oh, there's a solution
[chorus]
Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping
Into the future
Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping
Into the future
[chorus]
