[Intro]
The LSD trip is a pilgrimage far out beyond your normal mind, into that risky and revelatory territory which has been explored for thousands of years by mystics and visionary philosophers

[Instrumental]

[Interlude]
Well I never think that when I'm twenty-one, I'm twenty-one
I think of tomorrow or this minute
And hope there's a tomorrow, 'cause I don't like what's going on in the world
I'm scared of that, more than drugs, I'm not afraid of them
I'm just— I'm just scared you know?
We're told that perhaps a million Americans, most of them young people, have made the LSD experience part of their lives
Is this a social menace and a cause for alarm?
I don't think so, I see nothing less than the speedy evolution of a new, indigenous religion

[Instrumental]

[Interlude]
I'm just— I'm just scared you know?
Everybody is pretty uptight
I'm just— I'm just scared you know?
The LSD religionist knows that the temple of worship is the human body
That the shrine must be located
Not in a public place, but in the privacy of your own home
And that the congregation cannot extend beyond your family and your closest friends
[Instrumental]

[Interlude]
And then the paintings on the walls were dripping
You know you could see the paint coming down like this
Just like if somebody was hosing it off at the top and all the paint was running down onto the floor
And it was so pretty, they were running just *whistles*
Like they were melting, it was groovy

[Instrumental]

[Interlude]
It was like a— it was like a massage, it was so— it was so groovy, you can't believe how groovy it was
It wasn't just water hitting you, taking a shower, soap and out you go, you know, towel off
It was just, oh wow
You know it was like, it was like, it was like a caress
You know kind of, and you could really feel the hot and the cold
You could feel hot "hot" and cold "cold", you know
And, and each little drop that came out was a different one, you know, it wasn't
I don't think the water must mix inside
It must come out hot and cold or something, 'cause you could feel hot cold hot cold all over you
It was really groovy
I guess, it was, I guess the word for it is sensual
You know just, your body just oh, it grooved
It was really groovy
[Instrumental]

[Interlude]
For psychedelics are stimulators of ideas and feelings
But generally these ideas and feelings would express themselves constructively
Rather than violently or destructively
If it were possible during a riot to spray small doses of LSD from an helicopter into the air
People would soon quieten

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
