"Can't Come Down" by The Grateful Dead I'm flying down deserted streets Wrapped in mother's winding sheets Asbestos boots on flaming feet Dreaming of forbidden treats When uniforms on nighttime beats Ask me where I'm going and what I eat I answer them with a voice so sweet Chorus I can't come down, it's plain to see I can't come down, I've been set free Who you are and what you do don't make no difference to me Well someone trying to tell me where it's at And how I do this and why I do that With secret smiles like a Cheshire cat And leather wings like a vampire bat I fly away to my cold water flat And eat my way through a bowl of fat And I say to the man with the funny hat [chorus] They say I've begun to lose my grip My hold on reality is starting to slip They tell me to get off this trip They say that it's like a sinking ship Life's sweet wine's too warm to sip And if I drink I'll surely flip I just say as I take a nip [chorus] So as I dream of forgotten seas And granite halls and redwood trees And of the eye that only sees Endless mirrors and infinite me's About the winter's coming freeze This afterthought I say with ease To all of you who made your pleas [chorus]
Slip inside this house - 13th floor elevators edoin tribes ascending From the egg into the flower, Alpha information sending State within the heaven shower From disciples the unending Subtleties of river power They slip inside this house as they pass by If your limbs begin dissolving In the water that you tread All surroundings are evolving In the stream that clears your head Find yourself a caravan Like Noah must have led And slip inside this house as you pass by. Slip inside this house as you pass by. True conception, knowing why Brings even more than meets the eye Slip inside this house as you pass by. In this dark we call creation We can be and feel and know From an effort, comfort station That's surviving on the go There's infinite survival in The high baptismal glow. Slip inside this house as you pass by. There is no season when you are grown You are always risen from the seeds you've sown There is no reason to rise alone Other stories given have sages of their own. Live where your heart can be given And your life starts to unfold In the forms you envision In this dream that's ages old On the river layer is the only sayer You receive all you can hold Like you've been told. Every day's another dawning Give the morning winds a chance Always catch your thunder yawning Lift your mind into the dance Sweep the shadows from your awning Shrink the fourfold circumstance That lies outside this house don't pass it by. Higher worlds that you uncover Light the path you want to roam You compare there and discover You won't need a shell of foam Twice born gypsies care and keep The nowhere of their former home They slip inside this house as they pass by. Slip inside this house as you pass by. You think you can't, you wish you could I know you can, I wish you would Slip inside this house as you pass by. Four and twenty birds of Maya Baked into an atom you Polarized into existence Magnet heart from red to blue To such extent the realm of dark Within the picture it seems true But slip inside this house and then decide. All your lightning waits inside you Travel it along your spine Seven stars receive your visit Seven seals remain divine Seven churches filled with spirit, Treasure from the angels' mine Slip inside this house as you pass by. Slip inside this house as you pass by. The space you make has your own laws No longer human gods are cause The center of this house will never die. There is no season when you are grown You are always risen from the seeds you've sown There is no reason to rise alone Other stories given have sages of their own. Draw from the well of unchanging Its union nourishes on In the right re-arranging Till the last confusion is gone Water-brothers trust in the ultimust Of the always singing song they pass along. One-eyed men aren't really reigning They just march in place until Two-eyed men with mystery training Finally feel the power fill Three-eyed men are not complaining. They can yo-yo where they will They slip inside this house as they pass by. Don't pass it by.
Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds - The Beatles Picture yourself in a boat on a river, With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A girl with kaleidoscope eyes. Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, Towering over your head. Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes, And she's gone. Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies, Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers, That grow so incredibly high. Newspaper taxis appear on the shore, Waiting to take you away. Climb in the back with your head in the clouds, And you're gone. Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Picture yourself on a train in a station, With plasticine porters with looking glass ties, Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle, The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.
White Rabbit ~ Jefferson Airplane (what a surprise. someone was bound to post it anyway) One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small When men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's "off with her head!" Remember what the dormouse said: "Feed your head Feed your head Feed your head"
Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix I'm too lazy to get the lyrics. I also heard that it's about a dream though.....
It's funny someone mentioned "Journey to the Center of the Mind" by the Amboy Dukes because Ted Nugent is probably the most anti-drug rock star I know of. I actually heard that if anyone in the band was caught doing drugs they would be kicked out...probably talking about his solo band though.
Strange that Ted Nugent say this...'cause in the late sixties he play guitar like a stringstriper...ok ok it's probably just a lot of marijuana...but then in the mid-70's he played like if he was ridin' upon a white line highway...no...no...i can't believe it . He probably stop all in the 80's but ...he was probably not clean before ...believe me. Now he probably became a furious republican cow-boy who respect the law like a sherrif. He's probably too partriotic to have a global vision of the world as a lot of american...he need to take distance with the earth and have a global vue from the clouds...and marijuana will help it for this... I really hope that i'm wrong in what i said 'bout him!
What the hell... this has been posted so many times... Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds has absolutely nothing to do with LSD.
it doesn't? I always thought it did. or are you being sarcastic? one song that comes to mind is A SCI song. I have no idea what's it's called. It's the 3rd track on the Untying the Knot album. It's very trippy and beautiful
LSD by Hawkwind By mere existance - we are elite Without a body - we are complete There is no master - we are alone There is an answer - where we have flown :sunglasse
Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix When the Music's Over - The Doors. (This one is not about acid, but it's really amazing to listen to when you're on acid.) Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - The Beatles.
I found out what the song is called. It's Looking Glass by String Cheese. I like it a lot. I still don't know why someone said Lucy in the Sky wasn't about acid.
It's about a picture John's son drew.... http://www.snopes.com/music/hidden/lucysky.htm He also admits this in the movie Imagine....
Paul has since said Lucy In The Sky was about LSD. John was just trying to cover his tracks haha. There are more Beatles-drug songs than people think.
yeah, i asked my mom about that song (lucy in the sky with diamonds) and she said it was about a picture one of their sons drew. peace and love
Something Happened To Me Yesterday Rolling Stones (Between The Buttons) Something happened to me yesterday Something I can't speak of right away Something happened to me Something oh so groovy Something happened to me yesterday He don't know if it's right or wrong Maybe he should tell someone He's not sure just what it was Or if it's against the law Something Something very strange i hear you say You're talking in a most peculiar way But something really threw me Something oh so groovy Something happend to me yesterday (Yesterday) He don't know just where it's gone He don't really care at all No one's sure just what it was Or the meaning and the cause Something Me don't know if it's right or wrong Maybe he should tell someone He's not sure just what it was Or if it's against the law Something Someone says there's something more to pay For sins that you committed yesterday It's really rather drippy But something oh so trippy Something happened to me yesterday He don't know just where it's gone He don't really care at all No one's sure just what it was Or the meaning and the cause Something Someone's singing loud across the bay Sittin on a mat about to pray Isn't half as looney As something oh so groovy Something happened to me yesterday He don't know if it's right or wrong Maybe he should tell someone He's not sure just what it was Or if it's against the law Something [spoken] Well thank you very much and now I think it's time for us All to go. so from all of us to all of you not forgetting The boys in the band and our producer, Reg Thorpe, We'd like to say "God Bless". So, if you're out tonight, Don't forget, if you're on your bike, wear white....amen. ----------------------------------------------------------- A Girl Named Sandoz The Animals (Best of 1966-1968) (Sandoz was the name of the pharmaceutical laboratory where Albert Hoffman discovered LSD) Somehow I turn around and see My nerves break down inside Maybe you might know much more than me So tell me what is right to say Down the weakness of my soul Lie the secrets, and I know There's something pushing back Wish my hands could turn to gold And my heart would break the cold To give my thoughts some sense The turn is close, new century Still people think they're kings Now you've got your voice, Your own speech Don't wait 'till someone else agrees Swimming naked of beliefs And responsibilities Just feel the sea of bliss Mother nature brings to me In fantastic purity Everything I need Like a teenager discovery What's more delightful than this? Try to remember how good it was Feeling the life as it is To believe! New world was born out of man's dreams Now we walk on our own The angels cried, you've heard them weep But now it's time to make them sing! ---------------------------------------------------- I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night The Electric Prunes Last night your shadow fell upon my lonely room I touched your golden hair and tasted your perfume Your eyes were filled with love the way they used to be Your gentle hand reached out to comfort me Then came the dawn And you were gone You were gone, gone, gone I had too much to dream last night Too much to dream I'm not ready to face the light I had too much to dream Last night Last night The room was empty as I staggered from my bed I could not bear the image racing through my head You were so real that I could feel your eagerness And when you raised your lips for me to kiss Came the dawn And you were gone You were gone, gone, gone [repeat chorus 2X] Oh, too much to dream Oh, too much to dream Too much to dream last night Oh, too much to dream [fade] ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tomorrow Never KnowsBeatlesRevolverWritten by Lennon, this was his attempt to give a sign of things to come, while capturing the meaning of an LSD experience in words and sounds. It is probably the strangest and most experimental track to appear on a Beatles' recording at the time. It was recorded on April 6, 7 and 22, 1966, and the first song recorded for Revolver. Turn off your mind, relax, and float down stream, It is not dying, It is not dying Lay down all thought, surrender to the void, It is shining, it is shining That you may see, the meaning of within, It is being, It is being That love is all, and love is everyone, It is knowing, it is knowing That ignorance and hate, may mourn the dead, It is believing, it is believing But listen to the color of your dreams, It is not living, it is not living Or play the game, existence to the end, Of the beginning, of the beginning, Of the beginning, of the beginning, Of the beginning, of the beginning http://www.iamthebeatles.com/article1270.html ------------------------------------------------------
