Triad (by David Crosby of The Byrds given to Jefferson Airplane) You want to know how it will be Me and her, or you and me You both stand there, your long hair flowing Your eyes alive, your mind still growing Saying to me what can we do now that we both love you I love you too And I don't really see Why can't we go on as three You are afraid, embarrassed too No one has ever said such a thing to you Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulders A face like ice, a little bit colder Saying to you, you cannot do that It breaks all the rules, you learned in school But I don't really see Why can't we go on as three We love each other, it's plain to see There's just one answer that comes to be Sister lovers, water brothers, and in time maybe others So you see what we can do is to try something new If your crazy too And I don't really see Why can't we go on as three -- During recording of the album "The Notorious Byrd Brothers" , Crosby fought for the inclusion of his controversial "Triad," even for 1967 a risqué song about a ménage à trois. He eventually gave the tune to Jefferson Airplane, who included a version on their 1968 album Crown of Creation. The Byrds did record "Triad" but refused to release it at the time, the track surfacing officially on the band's box set of 1990, but eventually added to the album via the 1997 reissue.
