The Trip
(专辑: Sunshine Superman - 1966)
We was a-d-d-d-driving d-downtown L.A., About a-midnight hour And it almost b-b-blew my mind, I
got caught in a
coloured shower. All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset, I
saw a
sign in the
sky It said, "T-t-t-trip a
t-trip, I
trip, trip," I
couldn't keep up up if I
tried. Ah, we stepped down to reality company To get some instant sleep And the
driver turned, I
said, "Welcome back" He smiled and he said, "Beep beep". What goes on? Chick-a-chick. What goes on? I
really wanna know. What goes on all around me, What goes on? I
really wanna know. When in should come-a my dream woman, She got sequins in her hair, Like she stepped out off of a
Fellini film, She sat in a
white straw chair But I
thought I'd take a
second look Just to see what I
could see And my scene had popped out like a
bubble does, There was nobody there but me. I
said, "Girl, you drank a
lot of drink-me, But you ain't in a
Wonderland You know I
might-a be there to greet you, child, When your tripping ship touches sand." What goes on? Chick-a-chick. What goes on? I
really wanna know. What goes on? Chick-a-chick. What goes on? I
really wanna know. A
silver goblet of wine is-a to be Held in a
bejewelled glove And her knights they toast the
tournament, The
falcons they fly above. And the
queen will a
drink of the
dew tonight But the
jester she cries alone, Because Merlin he spoke of an instant spell To make the
devil's white knights moan And-a all in all, the
seagull said, "As I
look to where I've been, The
whole wide human race Has a-taken far too much Methedrine". What goes on? Chick-a-chick. What goes on? I
really wanna know. What goes on? So near What goes on? I
really wanna know. Yeah well, come on. We sat in a
velvet jewel case With sparkles everywhere, And Julian he sat on a
diamond ring And-a talked of the
days gone by. We spoke of a
common kaleidoscope And the
pros and the
cons of Zen And he spoke and-a said for a
piece of cake He really did have a
yen. Bobby Dylan he sat "the Mad Hatter", A
broken hour glass in his hand, And-a Joannie sat in a
white lace Looking cool with a
black lace fan. What goes on? Chick-a-chick. What goes on? I
really wanna know. What goes on? Yes please tell me. What goes on? I
really wanna know.
