I wanna tell you bout a trip I took
But I didn’t take no car
If you’re willin to unravel
your mind you can travel
on the back of a shootin star
It doesn’t take very long at all
It’s over in a matter of hours
But this ain’t no bluff
a little bit of that stuff
will grant you magical powers
Well I was sick a what I been feelin
And I wanted to feel somethin new
And with the help of a golden teacher
My wish came true
I got high on shrooms last night
Couldn’t tell my left from my right
And in the end I had to cry
I thought I felt my ego die
The entire world was glowing
And full of beautiful things
I heard music so sweet
and my legs and my feet
Turned into strummin’ guitar strings
Then it got weird
And I started to lose control
I saw a clown on the ceiling
And I had a funny feeling
he was here to collect my soul
I was feeling on a verge of a break
brought on by the knowledge I’d found
And just when the demon clown started to laugh
I started to come down
I got high on shrooms last night
Had nothing left to try to fight
I was God or something close
I took an heroic dose
Some people will tell you you’re pretty mixed up when you’re stoned
But I think this world is pretty mixed up on its own
And last night I talked to Jesus Christ himself on the phone
and he said
love one another
and order me a dominos pizza
love one another
I sure would like a dominos pizza
(it might have been my roommate)
love one another
let’s all go out for some pho
I got high on shrooms last night
I was shining oh so bright
I had found the things I seek
…I’m doin em again next week
