Yeah I definitely agree on the acid thing.
Love the parallel in the first and second verses:
"Holy man tiptoed his way across the Ganges
The sound of magic music in his ears"
"Well we go happy day glow in the discos
The sound of magic music in our brains"
The context of these quotes in the verses is about the cheapening of the religious / mystical experience (the bus-load of lemonade drinking tourists and the happy day-glo clad disco-goers).
I think the lyrics in the chorus are there mainly to make sense following on from the second verse, ie written from the perspective of the person who "stumbles to the bathroom with the horrors" on a bad trip.
