This song is talking Ken Kesey and his Merry Prankster's trip from california to new york in '64.

The trip is documented in Tom Wolfe's book "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test."

"Escapin' through the lily fields I came across an empty space,
It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in it's place.

"Escapin' through the lily fields I came across an empty space,
It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in it's place.
The bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began,
There was cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land."
