lyrics

If you listen very closely to a pigeon with a flute
he can whistle Abraham Lincoln a nifty pancho tune
Or so I've heard from travelers on the patriotic tree catcher trail
Octagonal paper arachnids were caressing my wombat
with their red and turquoise feathers
when all of a sudden my vision turned plastic
and in a sudden haze I was falling through a ripple in a purple sun
I hit the floor and looked up
to see I was standing before a door in front of me
This world was new a place that I'd never been
I slipped into an inverted funnel moving faster than a Stratocaster
rising from an expanding sea of LSD
Curse words flow out of a hallow tree like snot from a toddler and stream into a thread of galaxies
that are darker indeed than Autumn's finest wine
You could feel the loss of time
with everything so synchronized
Just as I stood up a vine shot through the sky
It was so colorful and trippy that I realized
it was none other than
one of Jerry Garcia's magnificent ties
attached to a suit
worn by the banana of a lactose
intolerant canoe
sinking into
the sub woofer
of an old stereo
