Magic Carpet Ride    (1968)

I like to dream
Yes, yes
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
To the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what we could find
Why don't you come with me, little girl,
On a magic carpet ride?
You don't know what we could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me?
Fantasy will set you free

Close your eyes, girl
Look inside, girl
Let the sound take you away

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle was all I found

Well, you don't know what we could find
Why don't you come with me, little girl,
On a magic carpet ride?
You don't know what we could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me?
Fantasy will set you free

Close your eyes, girl
Look inside, girl
Let the sound take you away

You don't know what we could find
Why don't you come with me, little girl,
On a magic carpet ride?
Well, you don't know what we could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me?
Fantasy will set you free

Lyrics by John Kay and Rushton Moreve.
