The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane
Jeffrey Lewis

It was a night in July, I think six years agonWhy did I eat the acid? I don't knownI wasn't thinking and I wasn't scarednWhy did I eat the acid? I wasn't preparednThe last time I did acid I went insanennI was hanging with some friends just getting loadednWhen all of a sudden my mind explodednI had a flash that I was gay and I got paranoidnI was sitting on the floor listening to Pink FloydnThe last time I did acid I went insanennAnd I was drawing crazy pictures and before I was donenThe pictures started pulsing like an alien lungnAnd I said oh my god this is just begunnAnd it was twelve more hours before I was donenWe were up on the rooftop and I’ll tell you the truthnI was convinced I'd already fallen off of the roofnAnd these weird metal things rolling around in outta spacenWere teleporting me from place to placenThe last time I did acid I went insanennSo we ran back downstairs where it was better to benBut I was trapped in spiral staircase infinitynAnd when we got to the door I couldn't go insidenCos it was the gates of heaven and I had diednThe last time I did acid I went insanennAnd this kid named Graham he punched a cat in the headnHe could read my thoughts, that's what he saidnAnd he described what it was like but I didn't believe itnLike lifting a rug and seeing stars beneath itnOoo-ooonnAnd the first rule of tripping wasnDon't be with people you don't trustnThe second rule of LSDnThe rooftop is not a good place to benThe third rule is to be preparednThe fourth rule is to not get scarednThe fifth rule is to stay serenenTurn off your mind and float downstreamnThe sixth rule's to have a good friend at handnThe seventh, I hope that you understandnIs not to look to deep into your soulnOr you might find a hideous, hopeless holenOf hatred, hunger, infinite, idiotnMindless, meaningless, nothingness, nothingnessnNothingness, nothingness, nothingness, nothingnessnNothingness, nothingness, nothingness, nothingnessnNothingnessnAnd that's what I didnnAnd every aspect of life that I selectednWas instantly and brutally dissectednI saw the horrible emptiness withinnThe reasons behind everythingnAnd it was at that moment that I went insanennCos I figured why bother doing anything againnI didn't understand my thoughts revealing themselves to benThe truth behind everything I'd ever wanted and believednRevealed itself to benUnwindingnnI Stood upnI brushednMy headnI turnednTo my rightnAll in my eyenAnd I saidnnThere are things which we feel to be so terrifically truenThat what were all but madnessnFor any good man in his own proper character nTo utter or even hint of themnnI've just discovered the meaning of lifenI've just discovered the meaning of lifenI've just discovered the meaning of lifenI've just discovered the meaning of life
