I woke up in a forest of doom (3)
When I ate myself a shroom
Traffic moves in the slowest lane
My taxi feels like an aeroplane
And I hate myself
When I ate myself a shroom
Wounded soldiers and burning flames
My mind’s off playing battle games
And I hate myself
When I ate myself a shroom
CHORUS
The years gone past in my little life
Staring down the barrel of a carving knife
And I beat myself
When I eat myself a shroom
A macho, mal-nutritioned, overfed, wimp, clever fool
I’m everything I am and absolutely nothing to
I’m positively certain that I’d never do it again
Eat a shroom
CHORUS
Cellophane something and marshmallows too
A gathering of insects in the sky with Lucy, do you remember me?
Lucy, sweet strange lady friend me
Oh why oh why
Did I have to try this?
Don’t I know it better as I age? (1-2-3-28)
High so high
I swear I’d never try this
Never, never
But it’s too late
‘Coz I ate
A shroom
CHORUS (2)
