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
