"Oh Rose thou art sick" and "The invisible worm" are both Lifted from William Blakes "The Sick Rose" which (I think) is about sex destroying innocence. Blake was "a bit" of a nutter.
"O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy;
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy. "
Also I can't believe noone has yet pointed out the rather obvious drug reference in the title (LSD) which was veeeery much intentional - a remix of "The Snow" from the same album is subtitled "Answers Come In Dreams" (or ACID for the slow.)
