Magic Carpet Ride (Steppenwolf) Magic Carpet Ride (Steppenwolf) I like to dream, yes, yes Well, someone came and took the lamp Right between the sound machine away On a cloud of sound I drift in the night I looked around a lousy candle's all I found Any place it goes is right Goes far, flies near Well, you don't know what we can find To the stars away from here Why don't you come with me little girl On a magic carpet ride Well, you don't know what we can find Why don't you come with me little girl Well, you don't know what we can see On a magic carpet ride Why don't you tell your dreams to me Fantasy will set you free Well, you don't know what we can see Why don't you tell your dreams to me [Chorus] Fantasy will set you free Close your eyes girl Look inside girl [Chorus] Let the sound Close your eyes girl Take you away Look inside girl Let the sound {Instrumental} Take you away Well, you don't know what we can find {Instrumental} Why don't you come with me little girl On a magic carpet ride.... Last night I hold Aladdin's lamp So I wished that I could stay Well, you don't know what we can find Before the thing could answer me Why don't you come with me little girl On a magic carpet ride.... 143 "Magic Carpet Ride" is a rock song written by John Kay and Rushton Moreve from the Canadian-U.S. hard rock band Steppenwolf. The song was initially released in 1968 on the album The Second. It was the lead single from that album, peaking at number three in the US, and staying in the charts for 16 weeks, longer than any other Steppenwolf song. The single version differs noticeably from the album version with a different vocal take by Kay used for the first verse of the song and differing instrumental balances, most notably the introduction feedback. The single version is also much shorter than the album version, with a running time of 2 minutes and 55 seconds. (The album version is 4 minutes and 25 seconds long.) The lyrics "I like to dream, right between my sound machine" were reportedly inspired by a hi-fi home stereo system John Kay bought with royalties from his first album. In 1988, the band rerecorded the song with the hip hop group Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. The track appeared on their reunion album On the Strength. 144 .

  • John Kay & Steppenwolf
    JOHN KAY & STEPPENWOLF Biography CELEBRATE THEIR 50TH ANNIVERSARY "The central theme of Feed The Fire," says John Kay, "is, 'don't let the bastards get you down!'" Lyrically, songs such as "Rock & Roll Rebels" and "Hold On" focus on the resiliency of the human spirit in spite of life's many setbacks. The title song speaks to the needs of the inner flame that burns in all of us and drives us in our quest for fulfillment. Other tracks, such as "Man On A Mission", "Rock Steady" and "Rage", are songs of defiance and passion, while "Bad Attitude" and "Give Me News I Can Use", rely on tongue-in-cheek and at times sardonic humor to make their point. In Kay's words: "This album is about and for all the rock and roll rebels, be they 14 or 54, who refuse to throw in the towel and who struggle to keep their dreams alive in the face of ever diminishing freedom." With "Feed The Fire," their most potent album in years, Kay and company have written the newest chapter of the Steppenwolf legend. Kay has certainly lived the life of a rock and roll rebel himself. After a perilous midnight escape from post-war East Germany as a child, he grew up with a steady diet of Armed Forces Radio and became inspired by the likes of Little Richard and Chuck Berry. At age 13, John decided to make rock and roll his life. "Considering I was only 13, legally blind, spoke the wrong language and was on the wrong side of the ocean, maybe I was a little optimistic," he says.

In particular, representing these relations as a sim- ilarity network allows us to investigate the innovation pre- sented by these entities in a multitude of points-of-view, including disruption.
