1
It was a night in July, I think six years ago
2
Why did I eat the acid? I don't know
3
I wasn't thinking and I wasn't scared
4
Why did I eat the acid? I wasn't prepared
5
The last time I did acid I went insane
6
I was hanging with some friends just getting loaded
7
When all of a sudden my mind exploded
8
I had a flash that I was gay and I got paranoid
9
I was sitting on the floor listening to Pink Floyd
10
The last time I did acid I went insane
11
And I was drawing crazy pictures and before I was done
12
The pictures started pulsing like an alien lung
13
And I said "oh my god this is just begun"
14
And it was twelve more hours before I was done
15
We were up on the rooftop and I'll tell you the truth
16
I was convinced I'd already fallen off of the roof
17
And these weird metal things rolling around in outta space
18
Were teleporting me from place to place
19
The last time I did acid I went insane
20
So we ran back downstairs where it was better to be
21
But I was trapped in spiral staircase infinity
22
And when we got to the door I couldn't go inside
23
Cos it was the gates of heaven and I had died
24
The last time I did acid I went insane
25
And this kid named Graham he punched a cat in the head
26
He could read my thoughts, that's what he said
27
And he described what it was like but I didn't believe it
28
Like lifting a rug and seeing stars beneath it
29
Ooo-ooo
30
And the first rule of tripping was
31
Don't be with people you don't trust
32
The second rule of LSD
33
The rooftop is not a good place to be
34
The third rule is to be prepared
35
The fourth rule is to not get scared
36
The fifth rule is to stay serene
37
Turn off your mind and float downstream
38
The sixth rule's to have a good friend at hand
39
The seventh, I hope that you understand
40
Is not to look to deep into your soul
41
Or you might find a hideous, hopeless hole
42
Of hatred, hunger, infinite, idiot
43
Mindless, meaningless, nothingness, nothingness
44
Nothingness, nothingness, nothingness, nothingness
45
Nothingness, nothingness, nothingness, nothingness
46
Nothingness
47
And that's what I did
48
And every aspect of life that I selected
49
Was instantly and brutally dissected
50
I saw the horrible emptiness within
51
The reasons behind everything
52
And it was at that moment that I went insane
53
Cos I figured why bother doing anything again
54
I didn't understand my thoughts revealing themselves to be
55
The truth behind everything I'd ever wanted and believed
56
Revealed itself to be
57
Unwinding
58
I Stood up
59
I brushed
60
My head
61
I turned
62
To my right
63
All in my eye
64
And I said
65
There are things which we feel to be so terrifically true
66
That what were all but madness
67
For any good man in his own proper character
68
To utter or even hint of them
69
I've just discovered the meaning of life
70
I've just discovered the meaning of life
71
I've just discovered the meaning of life
72
I've just discovered the meaning of life
