Four Twenty

Lyrics: Unknown
Music: Unknown

Played by Vince Welnick with Terrapin Flyer in 2002. I've no idea where the song comes from - and the lyrics are hard to decipher. though the drift is clear.

Let me tell you the story
About the little seed
That tangled up our hearts and minds
When it turned into a weed

So now we are committed
Let's let the seed be free
And four twenty today
Is all the time we need

Four twenty
It's the time of day that can't be beat
Four twenty
Let's all light up something sweet

[Sacred earth]
Smoke it in a sacred way
[Sacred earth]
Smoke it in a sacred way

Now here is the [crowd that's deep]
That has no right to exist
And we pray that the powers that be
Will soon get the [deal]

As we stand on the shoulders
Of a [?] greatness
And very courageously bow
[?]

Four twenty
It's our favourite time to smoke a j
Four twenty
There's only one better time, I have to say
Four twenty
That's when [?] live long day
[Sacred earth]
Smoke it in a sacred way
[Sacred earth], yeah, yeah
Smoke it in a sacred way

Now how can something that
Looks and smells so fine
Be prohibited
[?]

Oh well I always wanted to
Use this [rhyme]
Tonight we're going to party like
It's nineteen ninety nine

Four twenty
Time to put aside every day
Four twenty
It's the time when nothing's [?]
Four twenty
Let the [?] our people play
[Sacred earth]
Smoke it in a sacred way
[Sacred earth], yeah, yeah
Smoke it in a sacred way
[Sacred earth], yeah, yeah
Smoke it in a sacred way
[Sacred earth], yeah, yeah
Smoke it in a sacred way
