He come groovin' up slowly

The first verse of Audio Cultures' "Come Together" paints a vivid picture of the song's protagonist who is described as flat top, groovy, with joo joo eyeballs and hair down to his knee. He is also said to be a holy roller, meaning he is a deeply religious person. Despite his unusual appearance and eccentricities, flat top is a joker who does as he pleases. He wears no shoeshine and instead has toe jam football, monkey finger, and he shoots Coca Cola. In the chorus, the singer implores listeners to come together over him, emphasizing the need for unity and togetherness.
The second verse continues to describe flat top's unusual characteristics, including his walrus gumboot and Ono sideboard. The phrase "spinal cracker" suggests that he is a chiropractor or someone with a special ability to heal. His feet are also described as being down below his knees, further emphasizing his unique features. The verse also suggests that he is not entirely healthy, as the singer notes that he can "feel his disease." In the final chorus, the singer emphasizes the need to come together and be united despite differences in appearance and ideology.
