Il testo della The trip

From the album sunshine superman

We was a-d-d-d-drivin' 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 trippin' 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.
