What I'm diggin' right now #2

Strange Young Girls

I was searching Mamas and Papas videos on youtube (nothing out of the ordinary), and I happened to stumble across this gem.
The words are so beautiful and the harmonies are lovely(just as you'd imagine from a Mamas and Papas song.)
Strange Young Girls Lyrics:
Strange young girls
Covered with sadness;
Eyes of innocence
Hiding their madness.
Walking the strip--
Sweet,soft,and placid---
Offering their youth 
On the altar of acid.

Thinking these gifts
Were sent by the dove;
Off on a trip
Accompanied by love.

Gentle young girls, 
Holding hands walking;
Wisdom flows childlike
While softly talking.
Colors surround them
Bejewling their hair;
Visions astound them, 
Demanding their share.

Children of Orpheus
Called by the dove
Off on a trip 
Accompanied by love.

Thinking these gifts 
Were sent by the dove
Off on a trip
Accompanied by love.
