The Acid Song

Lyrics

I had not taken acid for twelve years But one night last summer I did I was adrift in a bar room Acting like a jerk and a kid I knew we were asking for trouble Trouble was what we would get Five of us dropped in the girls' room Psychedelicized insane quintet Well that bathroom got crowded in no time Our minds were all blown in one flash Everyone in there got ugly We exited out of there fast Back in the bar we were happy No problem, feel great Back in the bar we were fine Till Johnny turned into a Nazi And Mary threw up all her wine Well in no time we all were ejected Soon we were out on the street The sidewalk began to perspire We had glass and dog shit at our feet We went over to Mary's apartment To listen to the Grateful Dead On the way there we lost Johnny He had opted for Bellevue instead Boy I'm really glad you talked me into doing this... Really having a ball Yeah, yeah I know, I know, I know that my hair's on fire Your face is melting Did you know that? I don't know where the Ravi Shankar tape is Well I had to get out of that city Bobby was bringing me down Me and my darling young Susie Said so long and drove out of town Driving on acid is easy Driving on acid's a breeze Just keep the car on the highway Don't laugh and don't fart and don't sneeze Oh we got to my house in the country Yeah, the country, I like this The trees were all throbbing and green Susie was sure she had cancer I was sure I was James Dean We went down the lake to go swimming Down to the lake for a swim Susie said, "water cures cancer" I asked her to please call me Jim Yes acid is usually dangerous The mild-mannered can quickly turn mean LSD can surely derange us Unless you possess Thorazine So, the next time you wanna go out there When you feel like feeding your head Think twice before dropping acid Hold out for mushrooms instead!
