The Mushroom on High

The Mushroom on High
Can be a place, by and by 
It's streaming, oh my!
It's an hallucination
Of the imagination 
A reason to fly
High in the Full Moon Sky...

The Mushroom on High 
Can be a place in your Mind
Respectively 
A place under the Raging Sea
A place in the Stormy Sky
A place where what you see and seem
Is just a Dream within a Dream...

"Have you taken the Mushroom, my Friend?"
I have done over and over again 
All care and worries it puts to a delightfuly temporary End
To the Moon it will you send
Change your name again 
If your Brain insanely offends...

With the Mushroom on High, right?
You can take flight 
Through the Sky on Full Moon Nights 
Watch the Geese in sight
Watch the Storm Clouds cry and fight 
It's the Mushroom's on High Plight 
You can enter the White Light...

The Mushroom on High 
Likes to Water Dive
And swim with the Fish
Do you Wish 
In a Cave Crawler to ride 
Digging in the Cave 
Looking for an Ancient Alien's Tombstone and Grave...

In the Mushroom on High 
Why?
You can Drink some Witches Brew, Try
A Pipe you can Smoke 
It's no Joke
Take a Toke
Zoom off and really fly...

On The Dark Side of the Moon
Into her you can Tune
You will get there soon
Don't mind if they call you a Loon
Artimis II flew over The Dark Side of the Moon 
Did they find any Ruins or Runes
No! Just abscence of light, what a "boon"...

The Mushroom on High is Groovy and Cool
But it's never going back to its Old School 
For those who do, pity the Fool
Don't never follow no Rules 
It has the right Tools
To fight it's own Duels
And raise Ancient Egyptian Bulls...

The Mushroom on High is quiet contrary 
I once flew inside with my Imaginary Canary 
But, have a carey 
And be warey
My Canary will down you starey 
I sweary 
No Commentary?

Rocket Man flies
He's got nine lives
He'll do a nice little Dance with the Mushroom on High 
Rocket Man 
Is a Rock 'n Roll Man
Who takes a Stand and Jams with his Band...

The Gains
Of my Brains 
Are Insane 
So I refrain
From dancing in the Frozen Rain 
Myself I've trained
To change my Hat, Socks, Shoes and change my Name... 

The Mushroom on High is "Sick" you see 
But not perpetually 
It's a short term Disease
We are not amused said the King 
Kiss the Signet Ring 
I'm the Dancing...
I'm the Singing...

The Mushroom on High said, "What's this Thingy
That's all quite Dreamy?"
The Full Moon is Beaming 
The Sun is Sleeping 
They turned off the Sun and she's steaming 
"Don't you believe me all?"
"Don't touch it, it's Evil!"

Board the Mushroom on High very slow
The Captain said, "Engage!" ya know 
"Make it so..."
What are the Coordinates, Numbers in a Row
A Space Storm is about to Blow
We better, more or less, hit Warp Five and go 
Warp Five, Six or so...

My Friends in the Mushroom 
Are playing for themselves 
And though there isn't much Room
They're entertaining Elves
Isn't that Swell?
Oh hell! 
Do tell...

The Times they are a changin'
The Rhymes they are strangely 
G R E E N...
