"Eight Miles High" des Byrds

Le groupe de rock américain The Byrds publie "Eight Miles High" aux États-Unis pour le label Columbia Records. La chanson, tirée de leur dernier album "Fifth Dimension", est écrite et composée par les membres Gene Clark, David Crosby et Jim McGuinn. 
 Elle fait déjà l'objet de censures depuis sa sortie. En cause: des références explicites à la drogue.



Paroles:

Eight miles high and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own

Nowhere is there warmth to be found
among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town known for its sound
In places small faces unbound

Round the squares huddled in storms
Some laughing some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
Some living some standing alone
