Just a Bit of Nonsense - Honestly

A sugar cube that I once took made the air around me look as if I stood in painted air Amazing colours everywhere 'Twas at a party in '69 We ate the sugar with some wine And all at once things weren't the same I think it was the wine to blame And then the floor beneath my feet seemed to ripple, as if with heat The walls began to move and sway and goldfish swam in the ashtray Through the ceiling, rain was pouring and tiny dinosaurs were roaring Floating right before my eyes were Lucy's diamonds from the skies The carpet rippled, 'coz beneath swam purple sharks with sharp white teeth The air was filled with drumming sounds whilst guards patrolled the coffee grounds As I turned the heat up higher ice cubes poured forth from the fire The sofa grew boots and started to walk and ten million people told butter from Stork The bats in my hair were digging around to see if small creatures in there could be found whilst the end of my legs had turned into hands and I entertained all by doing hand stands When I woke in the morning those things were not there except for those bats that were still in my hair And then when I tried to put on my shoe I found it was filled with dinosaur poo

Laura, I have to admit that the second two lines of verse six, I pinched from an obscure song by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - "The Spontaneous Apple Creation"
