Alcan Road Lyrics
Open the gate to the red land
Alcan road, by the turquoise lake
Starry skies, a mushroom cloud
Folding waves - in a foamy tide
Washing in beds - of opal shells
white gulls cry - for you and I
butterflies - float away
drift over pools - of salt and clay
mountain man - frosted child
eagles cry - puppets of god
strung like time - molded in form
trees bend back - and trails distort
it leads to the land - of Alcan Road
the turquoise lake - and starry skies
mushroom clouds - folding waves
foamy tides - of salt and brine
Alcan road, by the turquoise lake
Starry skies, a mushroom cloud
Folding waves - in a foamy tide
white gulls cry - for you and I
butterflies - float away
drift over pools - of salt and clay
eagles cry - puppets of god
strung like time - molded in form
trees bend back - and trails distort
the turquoise lake - and starry skies
mushroom clouds - folding waves
foamy tides - of salt and brine

I like to see this song as someone opening their mind to paradise and excepting natural beauty.
my friends was on mushrooms listening to ween and said when listenin to this song and wondering what the lyrics were about, and listening to the sort of smooth tune and he said he could really only imagin this being a journey through the gate's onto alcan road which is the road that leads to hell, he went on about it for ages but that's the idea simplified
the Alcan hwy is in Alaska...i'm going to guess that, simply put, the song is about that particular stretch of road
This song simply seems to describe the Alcan Highway (Alaska-Canadian highway), which does pass near Turquoise Lake.
