Arthur Brown - Spontaneous Apple Creation lyrics

When the world was travelling faster and faster Til colors became just a blur And the buildings were falling plaster from plaster Til things just weren't what they were What could save mankind from man? When the blind, the blind overran From this scene of confused devastation Came the great spontaneous apple creation And a speck in the sky grew to a cloud And fishes flew and laughed aloud And hamsters grew wings and flew on the doors And rich wine was sweated from every man's pores And 3,000 people ate one strawberry And the cloud grew green and pushed out a stalk And the chairs grew swing-boots and started to walk And the strong silent ones began to talk And three million people tore bu*ter from stalk And the cloud grew greener and greener and harder Til it reminded all those there of something from the larder And suddenly it was there and in each and every land Each man, beast, and creature had an apple in his hand And from that day came a new recreation The great spontaneous apple creation What could save mankind from man? When the blind, the blind overran From the scene of confused devastation Came the great spontaneous apple creation
