[Akira The Don, Johnny Depp, Hunter S. Thompson - The High Watermark lyrics]
Strange memories on this nervous
Night in Las Vegas has it been five years?
Six? It seems like a lifetime
The kind of peak that never comes again
San Francisco in the middle sixties
Was a very special time and place
To be a part of but no explanation
No mix of words or music or memories
Can touch that sense of knowing that
You were there and alive
In that corner of time in the world
Whatever it meant
There was madness in any dirеction
At any hour you can strike sparks anywhere
Thеre was a fantastic
Universal sense that whatever we were
Doing – was right that we were winning
And that I think was the handle
That sense of inevitable victory over the
Forces of old and evil
Not in any mean or military sense
We didn't need that
Our energy would simply prevail
We had all the momentum
We were riding the crest of
A high and beautiful wave
So now – less than five years later
You can go up on a steep hill
In Las Vegas and look west
And with the right kind of eyes
You can almost see the high watermark
That place where the wave finally broke
And rolled back
Night in Las Vegas has it been five years?
Six? It seems like a lifetime
The kind of peak that never comes again
San Francisco in the middle sixties
Was a very special time and place
To be a part of but no explanation
No mix of words or music or memories
Can touch that sense of knowing that
You were there and alive
In that corner of time in the world
Whatever it meant
There was madness in any dirеction
At any hour you can strike sparks anywhere
Thеre was a fantastic
Universal sense that whatever we were
Doing – was right that we were winning
And that I think was the handle
That sense of inevitable victory over the
Forces of old and evil
Not in any mean or military sense
We didn't need that
Our energy would simply prevail
We had all the momentum
We were riding the crest of
A high and beautiful wave
So now – less than five years later
You can go up on a steep hill
In Las Vegas and look west
And with the right kind of eyes
You can almost see the high watermark
That place where the wave finally broke
And rolled back
