Artist: The Rolling Stones Album: Their Satanic Majesties Request Song: 2000 Light Years From Home Year: 1967 Top Chart Position: unknown

Sun turnin' 'round with graceful motion We're setting off with soft explosion Bound for a star with fiery ocean It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home Freezing red deserts turn to dark Energy here in every part It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years from home It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home Bell flight fourteen you now can land Seen you on Aldebaran Safe on the green desert sand It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home

Two-Thousand Light Years From Home is about how far Mick and Keith must have been from their minds when they wrote this song, probably due to some of those wonderful illegal depressants. Granted, we can see the space traveler making their way across space, bound for wherever, but lets stop and listen to the song. For crying out loud, how much dope did it take to write this song? How much was smoked by the average person listening to it? That would probably be more interesting, really. "All the pretty colors, man, and the fire, and the planets, and stars. Stars, man, nothin’ but far-out stars."
