The vocal harmonies in the verse before the last chorus gives me such nostalgic chills. Living in downtown Phoenix in 2007/2008 with my then girlfriend who got me Roky's anthology set. It had a disc with all 13th Floor Elevators, including demos like We Sell Soul, a disc with Roky's acoustic material and other solo songs like Two Headed Dog and Starry Eyes, and then a disc full of Roky material I had never heard before being Roky Erickson & The Aliens which came to be my favorite era of Roky. I would always go on sunset walks in Phoenix and listen to this song along with The Interpreter, Click Your Fingers Applauding the Play, and I Think of Demons.
He has few peers. There is no afterlife. There is only life. But he did not die. He left the past and went to the future. There he waits for those in this time to catch up with him. That is the story of his life, waiting for others to catch up with him. But others shall, this I vow, those allowed to not die. This brings to mind his great unreleased masterpiece, "The Love Hieroglyphics".
Pencils bouncing twice up and down Haunted howling gremlins Howling to the sound The door opens by nothing physical Opens wide And you know it isn't Christ Eye the Devil child's mind Flash their dagger like teeth in rhyme Mine mine mind Mine mine mind Mine mine mind Mine mine mind Faster than just meeting With more goblins Demons and gremlins Never only decide a death to life seance With ghostly powers all the time What is it that makes it so so alike I ask you, the Devil's infinity children Mine mine mind Mine mine mind Mine mine mind Mine mine mind Demonic ore is the Devil's cross Lucifer and signed right Mine mind from the tomb Mine mind Demon I saith I Devils scuff their feet in rhyme I do and never try Mine mine mind Mine mine mind Mine mine mind Mine mine mind Mine mine mind Mine mine mind Mine mine mind Mine mine mind

Perfect Roky tune. One of his best. This version, too, not the EP version.
Awesomely Roky Rocking haunting! :)
What an amazing fucking human.. if there’s an afterlife, his peers must be absolutely stoked he’s with them.

Second only to Baby Blue for the best of the 70's
Styx brought me here.
Me too :)
Styx sucks, but Roky Erickson kicks ass. Glad ya came.
RIP Roky.
Pencils bouncing twice up and down
Haunted howling gremlins
Howling to the sound
The door opens by nothing physical
Opens wide
And you know it isn't Christ
Eye the Devil child's mind
Flash their dagger like teeth in rhyme
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Faster than just meeting
With more goblins
Demons and gremlins
Never only decide a death to life seance
With ghostly powers all the time
What is it that makes it so so alike
I ask you, the Devil's infinity children
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Demonic ore is the Devil's cross
Lucifer and signed right
Mine mind from the tomb
Mine mind
Demon I saith I
Devils scuff their feet in rhyme
I do and never try
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Mine mine mind
Thanks 😊
