Bicycle Lyrics
My bicycle rode so smooth
under the cars
over the stars
all of you can eat my dust
Can I start with a goodbye
You are very busy
Visions that are holding
that wretched light
Disassociated by
combinations that were ill advised
and a dosage quite unwise
My bicycle rode so smooth
under the cars
over the stars
all of you can eat my dirt
Oh we cut you down to size
What a difference between what I saw
and what was before my eyes
Was it great, no disease
That will get you taken by
a squad car right to the a&e
My bicycle rode so smooth
under the cars
over the stars
all of you can eat my dust
under the cars
over the stars
all of you can eat my dust
You are very busy
Visions that are holding
that wretched light
Disassociated by
combinations that were ill advised
and a dosage quite unwise
under the cars
over the stars
all of you can eat my dirt
What a difference between what I saw
and what was before my eyes
Was it great, no disease
That will get you taken by
a squad car right to the a&e
under the cars
over the stars
all of you can eat my dust

I think it is about LSD (bycicle, a reference to Hofmann's bycicle trip and a common blotter art). These lyrics are quite clear:
Disassociated by combinations that were ill advised and a dosage quite unwise

I love this song. I need some help with the lyrics though.

Definitely a metaphor to Albert Hofmanns 'Bicycle Day' experience as per onetwothreefo's comment above...the narrator is caught up in an LSD moment (after taking a big dose and mixing with other drugs).
"Was it great, no disease That will get you taken by a squad car right to the a&e"
Sounds like he was tripping balls on his 'ride' and the cops came and spoiled the fun
@Clownshoes I think what he's referring to there is that it is NOT like "other" kinds of drugs that will make you end up there. Replace the word "disease" with "drug" and you'll see what I mean
