A book I read about psychedelic music mentioned this song. It said that it was about taking drugs, specifically of the psychedelic variety. The drug trip was what happened to the narrator the day before. This is why he describes it as groovy and trippy. He doesn't know whether or not it was illegal or whether or not he should tell anyone about it. The seventh stanza basically says that he has no idea what exactly the drug was or why it happened or what it was all about. There's more I could say about it, but that's basically the gist of it.
Until reading that book, I had always thought the song might have had something to do with drugs, but after I read it my suspicions were pretty much affirmed.
(By the way, if anyone wants to read that book, it was called "Turn On Your Mind". I can't remember who wrote it, but he's written some other books about music. The book is about the history of psychedelic music from the 60's to the 90's.)
