THE BYRDS lyrics - Artificial Energy

(Hillman / McGuinn / Clarke)



Sittin' all alone now, I took my ticket to ride

Just a matter of time now till I'll be up in the sky



Coming up on me now, I'm king for the night

What's it gonna be now,

How hurtful things are brewing inside

Do you think it's really the truth that you see?

I've got my doubts, it's happened to me



Artificial energy is wrestling my mind

I've got a strange feeling

I'm going to die before my time

I'm coming down off amphetamine

And I'm in jail 'cause I killed a queen
