Lyrics:

Loud and vicious tried a countdown to their goal
I was standing near and kept you thinking

In a magic sort of way
Monophonic disamay
I believe I'll make today
In a changing sort of way
Well, in an easy sort of way

Concert here like nothing mattered so we sleep
Who is going to ignore my thinking
In a foggy sort of way
Girlie in a module tries to help me through
Thousand dollar headline soaked wth coffee

In a magic sort of way
If you stop, you never stay
Better jump into the bay
In a failing sort of way
Yes, in an easy sort of way

Closing down the shop and hiding in the tub
With/without the tourists I will manage

In a flavoured sort of way
I believe in what I say
Dontcha think you better pray
In amazing sorts of ways
(c)1973

I cannot believe I haven't heard of this song until the last few days. It's utterly brilliant.

This is my favorite Stevie song of all the Stevie songs I’ve heard thus far. I’m aware that there are about 5,000 Stevie songs I haven’t heard. But I really like this one.

One of the most astounding songs ever written.

Fuck I love this dude. Why do people think this guy is crazy because he focused on making music for himself and the world instead of doing regular boring life bullshit.

What a great sound. I still record on multitrack cassettes purely because I'm an analog nut, and I just love this guys vibe.
