in my youth i took a trip 

my first initial acid trip 

and it hit me like a ton of bricks 



my eyes they quickly dialated 

i began hallucinating 

at the tender age of seventeen 



as i watched the tv 

my dog speaking to me 

telling me i'm going insane 



i recall a scene it's halloween 

and i am dressed as a drag queen 

peaking to the point of no return 



i met a man i shook his hand 

he spoke i could not understand 

he was covered with flies and afterbirth 



the mandrills were singing 

the bees they were stinging 

as pink flamingos laid dead on the ground 



i am the witness 

i am mohammed 

i am the elephant man 



these are strange days 

beautifully chaotic 

in a burning metropolis 



tuning in and dropping out 

dancing buddha's twist and shout 

buddhatomic christ is love who 

resurrects the flower head 



cherishing the subtleties 

illusion is reality 

swimming the electric ocean 

souls at rest were set in motion 



martianss perform autopsies 

on cattle anal cavities 

frontal lobe labotomies 

electric shocking chimpanzees 



this cause of sorrow is desire 

ego fuels the selfish fire 

illusion is reality 

quantum sychronicity 



the mandrills were singing 

the bees they were stinging 

as pink flamingos lay dead on the ground 



visions so clearly 

of timothy leary 

the godfather of the movement 



i am the witness 

i am mohammed 

i am the elephant man 



these are strange days 

beautifully chaotic 

in a burning metropolis
