The Acid Memoirs Lyrics
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 dilated
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 Buddhas 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
Martians perform autopsies
On cattle anal cavities
Frontal lobe lobotomies
Electric shocking chimpanzees
This cause of sorrow is desire
Ego fuels the selfish fire
Illusion is reality
Quantum synchronicity
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
My first initial acid trip
And it hit me like a ton of bricks
My eyes they quickly dilated
I began hallucinating
At the tender age of seventeen
My dog speaking to me
Telling me I'm going insane
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 bees they were stinging
As pink flamingos laid dead on the ground
I am Mohammed
I am the elephant man
These are strange days
Beautifully chaotic
In a burning metropolis
Dancing Buddhas 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
On cattle anal cavities
Frontal lobe lobotomies
Electric shocking chimpanzees
This cause of sorrow is desire
Ego fuels the selfish fire
Illusion is reality
Quantum synchronicity
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 Mohammed
I am the elephant man
These are strange days
Beautifully chaotic
In a burning metropolis

This song rocks! Its one of my favorites on the commited to a bright future album.
its pretty obvious... this is about lsd and todds experiences and thoughts about/with lst
reality fading in and out... the realization that nothing in life is concrete and everything changes with perspective... priceless.
its about drugs! anyway great song this deserves more than 3 reviews!!!!!
"as i watched the tv my dog speaking to me telling me i'm going insane"
David Berkowitz, the serial killer, claimed he killed because his neighbors dog told him too.
This song is one of thier best songs b/c it tells the truth... and its terribly terrific.
Aside from the drug reference, I think it's about that point in life, usually teenage years where your 'eyes' truly open for the first time, and from then on, you see everything differently.
