Daily Nightly Lyrics
Darkened, rolling figures move through prisms of no color
Hand-in-hand, they walk the night
But never know each other
Passioned pastel neon lights light up the jeweled traveler
Who, lost in scenes of smoke-filled dreams
Find questions, but no answers
Startled eyes that sometimes see phantasmagoric splendor
Pirouette down palsied paths
With pennies for the vendor
Salvation's yours for just the time it takes to pay the dancer
And once again such anxious men
Find questions, but no answers
The night has gone and taken it's infractions
While saddened eyes hope there will be a next one
Sahara signs look down upon a world that glitters glibly
And mountain sides put arms around
The unsuspecting city
Second hands that minds have slowed are moving even faster
Toward bringing down someone who's found questions but no answers
Hand-in-hand, they walk the night
But never know each other
Passioned pastel neon lights light up the jeweled traveler
Who, lost in scenes of smoke-filled dreams
Find questions, but no answers
Pirouette down palsied paths
With pennies for the vendor
Salvation's yours for just the time it takes to pay the dancer
And once again such anxious men
Find questions, but no answers
While saddened eyes hope there will be a next one
And mountain sides put arms around
The unsuspecting city
Second hands that minds have slowed are moving even faster
Toward bringing down someone who's found questions but no answers

I've heard it was Mike's take on the LA riots. Either way, a brilliant song, and the psychedelic vibe of the Moog synthesizer is perfect.
To me this doesn't mean much. I think Mickey puts it best at the tale end of the video for this..."Psycadellic". I
Mike mentioned during a DVD commentary track from the season 2 DVDs that some lyrics from this song came from poetry that he wrote during his time on the show.
I read this song came from a poem Mickey wrote about the November 1966 Los Angeles Curfew Riots.
