Can was a German experimental rock band formed in Cologne in 1968 by the core quartet of Holger Czukay (bass, tape editing), Irmin Schmidt (keyboards), Michael Karoli (guitar), and Jaki Liebezeit (drums). The group cycled through several vocalists, most prominently the American-born Malcolm Mooney (1968–70) and the Japanese-born Damo Suzuki (1970–73), as well as various temporary members.
Coming from backgrounds in the avant-garde and jazz, the members of Can blended elements of psychedelic rock, funk, and noise on influential albums such as Tago Mago (1971), Ege Bamyasi (1972) and Future Days (1973). Can also had occasional commercial success, with singles such as "Spoon" and "I Want More" reaching national singles charts. They have been widely hailed as pioneers of the German krautrock scene, and a considerable influence on subsequent rock, post-punk, ambient, and electronic music.
Take a light shining on the land
Off the wall
Honeymoon, think anything
Make you feel so bad
You can make everything
What you want with your head
You are here and they are there
Everywhere with your mind
Sometimes in my life
It's too hard to hear
Too many savage songs
Itch out for their sound
Forgetting everything
You in your mind
Your flying paperhouse
Reach out for the sky
You just can't get back no more
You just can't get back no more
You just can't get back no more
You just can't get back no more ...
You just can't get back no more
You just can't get back no more
You just can't get back no more
You just can't get back no more ...
