The Trip

Lyrics English

We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A. About a-midnight hour And it almost bl-bl-blew my mind I got caught in a coloured shower All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset I saw a sign in the sky I said "t-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip" I couldn't keep up-up if I tried Ah, we stepped down to reality company To get some instant sleep And the driver turned, I said "welcome back" He smiled and he said "beep, beep" A-what goes on? Chick-a-chick What goes on? I really wanna know What goes on all around me What goes on? I really wanna know A-when into come a-my dream a-woman A-she got sequins in her hair A-like she stepped out off of a Fellini film She sat in a white straw chair A-but I thought I'd take a second look A-just to see what I could see And my scene had popped out like a bubble does There was nobody there but me I said, "girl, you drank a lot of drink-me A-but you ain't in a Wonderland You know I might-a be there to greet you, child When your trippin' ship touches sand" What goes on? Chick-a-chick What goes on? I really wanna know What goes on? Chick-a-chick What goes on? I really wanna know A silver goblet of a-wine is a-to be A-held in a bejewelled glove And her knights they toast the tournament The falcons they fly above A-but the queen will a-drink of the dew tonight But the jester she cries alone Because Merlin a-spoke of an instant spell To make the devil's white knights moan A-and a-all in all, the seagull said "As I look to where I've been A-the whole wide a-human race Has a-taken far too much Methedrine" What goes on? Chick-a-chick What goes on? I really wanna know What goes on? Very near What goes on? I really wanna know Yeah, well, come on! A-we sat in a velvet a-jewel case With sparkles everywhere And a-Julian he sat on a diamond ring And a-talked of the days gone by A-we spoke of a common kaleidoscope And the pros and the cons of Zen And he spoke and a-said a-for a piece of cake He really did a-have a yen A-Bobby Dylan he sat The Mad a-Hatter A broken hour glass in his hand And a-Joannie sat in a white lace looking Cool with a black lace fan What goes on? Chick-a-chick What goes on? I really wanna know What goes on? Yes, please, tell me! What goes on? I really wanna know
