I've seen your face before, 
I've known you all my life. 
And though it's new, 
your image cuts me like a knife. 
And now I'm home. 
And now I'm home. 
And now I'm home, to stay. 
The neon from your eyes is splashing into mine. 
It's so familiar in a way I can't define. 
And now I'm home. 
And now I'm home. 
And now I'm home, to stay. 
And though this is awful speedy, 
We needn't bother sleeping, 
All we might say is understood. 
And now I'm home. 
And now I'm home. 
And now I'm home, to stay. 
The fierceness of my feelings, 
Rocks me like a war. 
It's good to know we won't be strangers anymore. 
And now I'm home. 
And now I'm home. 
And now I'm home, to stay. 
And now I'm home. 
And now I'm home. 
And now I'm home, to stay.

The 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators were an American psychedelic rock band formed in Texas in 1965. They are credited as one of the pioneering groups in the psychedelic rock genre and are known for popularizing the use of the term "psychedelic" in their music. Their energetic and experimental sound, fronted by vocalist Roky Erickson, combined elements of rock, blues, and folk with psychedelic influences. The band released a few albums and achieved moderate success before disbanding in 1969. Despite a relatively short-lived career, The 13th Floor Elevators left a lasting impact on the psychedelic rock scene. more »
