Animals Monterey Lyrics

The people came and listened
some of them came and played others games flowers away
Yes they did, down in Monterey (down in Monterey).

The young gods smiles upon the crowd
their music being born of love
children danced night and day
religion was being born down in Monterey.

The byrds and the airplane did fly
oh ravi shankar's music made me cry
the who exploded into fire and light
hugh masakelas music was black as night
the grateful dead blew everybody's mind
jimi hendrix people believe me set the world on fire
his majesty prince jones smiled as he moved amongst the crowd
ten thousand electric guitars were grovin' real loud
you wanna find the truth in life, don't pass music by
and you know i would lie, no i would lie, not lie no
i would not lie (down in Monterey).

Three days of understanding of moving with one another
even the cops grooved with us, do you believe me yeah
down in Monterey, down in Monterey
down in Monterey, down in Monterey

I think that maybe I'm dreamin'
Monterey, Monterey, down in Monterey
can you hear what I say
down in Monterey, Monterey.
