Mansion on the Hill [Album Version] Lyrics

Well, I saw an old man walkin' in my place
When he looked at me, I thought I saw my face
His words were kind but his eyes were wild
He said, "I got load to love, but I want one more child"
One more child

There's a mansion on the hill
Psychedelic music fills the air
Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill

(There's a mansion on the hill)

Around the next bend, take the highway to the sun
Or the rocky road, it really don't matter which one
Well, I was in hurry but that don't matter now
I had to get off of that road of tears somehow
(Somehow)

There's a mansion on the hill
Psychedelic music fills the air
Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill

(There's a mansion on the hill)

(There's a mansion on the hill)

There's a mansion on the hill
Psychedelic music fills the air
Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill

(There's a mansion on the hill)

(There's a mansion on the hill)

There's a mansion on the hill
Psychedelic music fills the air
Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill

Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
