TrypLyric

Come on baby take a trip

Take a trip with me

Psychedelic emanations

Sweeping right across the nation

Doctors trip out with their patients

L.S.D. hallucination

Take a trip

Take a trip with me

Take The Tryp

The Tryp are gonna set you free

Take a trip to the sunset strip

Take a trip and be really hip

Take a trip with me

I see colours every day,

The sky is blue the clouds are grey

I have psychedelic scenes,

My head is like a T.V. screen

But I dream in black and white

I know that something isn't right

I see colours every day

But at night they fade, fade to grey

So many colours shining through

The trees are green, the grass is too

But when I go to sleep at night

The colours fade to black and white

Ivy twines around your heart a thing of solid stone

Which drowns the frailest butterfly in spring

The branches of the trees tap like fingers of dry bone

And the creatures of the night begin to sing

Don't look back over your shoulder

The barn owl rides the evening tides, his eyes all ruined with hate

But in the darkened woods just out of sight

Things unseen from lands of dream sit and grinning wait

Hidden by the shadows of the night

When the sun beats down I go to the beach now

And stare at the girls so far out of reach now

I sit and watch as the Woodys drive by

While surfer boys kick sand in my eye

But I don't care, I tell you I don't mind

They look so hip as they shoot the curl now

Every boy is watched by more than one girl now

I sit alone on the sand

But I've got a tab in my hand

And I'm going to ride, ride, ride,

Through the colours of my mind

Psychedelic surfer stays on the sand

Psychedelic surfer, you gotta understand

I don't need no surfer girl

'cos I'm shooting the curl on another world

They act so cool as they ride the wave now

But there's one trip they just won't brave now

I lie back and close my eyes

And shoot the curl and a starry ride

I'm going to surf, surf, surf

Through the colours of my mind

My penfriend's dead and Mother she lives in Hull.

Grandpa's fled and Grannie's just way too dull.

My Sister I hear is doing ok in France.

But my Brother's in jail for fighting at the village dance.

But I'm ok coz my Aunty lives in Russia.

I got class coz she lives behind the curtain of iron.

Well I'm a Communist spy and soon I'm going to Moscow.

Coz my penfriend's dead and my Aunty lives in Russia.

Well I woke up this morning and I knew, I knew that something was wrong.

I looked in the bathroom mirror at my face and saw that my head was just a little bit too long..

I rushed into the street, screaming, screaming, that the world was on fire.

There was a pain in my brain and my head felt just like a rubber tyre.

Well my expression was one of disbelief as my face slid into my lap,

And I realised with horror that my skull was destroyed and that my brain had collapsed!

My brain collapsed

Slid out of my nose and into my lap

My brain collapsed

My head was round but now it's flat

My brain collapsed

Now tell me what do you think of that?

I was happy, she made me sad

I was peaceful, she made me mad

I was normal, she made me strange

I got 'A' grades, now I'm deranged

She's the girl from tomorrow

On a journey through time

She the girl from tomorrow

And for a moment she was mine

She was evil, I thought she was good

She said she wouldn't, meaning she would

She was a picture and I was framed

She was my baby, turned me insane

I was a good boy, now I'm so bad

I can't keep what once I had

She said she'd stay and then she went

Back to tomorrow, so for me it's the end

The grass blades bend in homage to the power of the wind

And leaves spin galaxies of changes.

But the earthworm in the underworld doesn't pause to wonder

And the sparrow sits and dreams of bamboo cages

The eyes of serpents glitter diamond hard and full of spite

And the branches of the Dog Rose tangle in.

Somewhere a gecko sits in the arid desert sun

Watching as the lizard sheds its skin

I'll tell you a story about me and my kind

The day we drank that mushroom wine

Ma and Pa and Emmylou

Well they sat down and had some too.

Out in the woods feeling so fine,

Everybody's got a mangled mind.

Mangled mind, mangled mind

Can't cut wood it's too unkind

Come on down to the river you'll find

Everybody;s got a mangled mind
