![]() Velociraptor! (2011) [ larger cover art ] |
Oh, green fairy, what you’ve done to me?
I see Lucy in the sky telling me I’m high
I went out for some milk three days ago
I met Dalí in the street, he knocked me off my feet
Oh
Oh
Now, I start to see that all’s not well
There’s policemen in my bed telling me I’m dead
If only I could show them what I’ve seen
I’ll have to take you down below where insects run the show
Sound and vision turning inside out
The lines make you look older then you’re gone
And everyday I got someone bringing me down
I got the eyes of a madman I’m chasing round
How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real?
So just send me down the river
The neighbours say that I need locking up
Well, they wouldn’t be a first to want me in a hearse
No one sleeps, for I am still awake
Pass me over La Fée Verte, I’ll give you all a scare
Dogs in handbags, everyone’s a star
You look behind your eyelids, then you’re gone
And everyday I got someone bringing me down
I got the eyes of a madman I’m chasing round
How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real?
So just send me down the river
I’m not gonna wait for tomorrow
I just look back and wait for a sign
And I’m not gonna celebrate my freedom
So just send me down the river
Na-na na na
Na na na, na-na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na-na na na
Na na na, na-na na na
Na na na na
Na na
And everyday I got someone bringing me down
I got the eyes of a madman I’m chasing round
How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real?
So just send me down the river
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

| Easyrider (Portugal) | Posted: Jun 10, 2012 - 01:40 The most irritating,dreary vocal piece of trash on the playlist. |

| coloradojohn (Mile High on the Colorado Vibe, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Mar 04, 2012 - 00:06 Was in the right frame of mind, and — it really caught me good this time...got way on inside my head...and mesmerized me to singing along deliriously. Good stuff! |

I once had a most amazing "IPA" made with wormwood instead of hops (or maybe as an adjunct to the hops) which at first was a bit...erm...hard to swallow, but soon became delicious and I ended up having too many. If you're ever in Vancouver, BC...look up Storm Brewing. Very creative brewers. No harsh anise after taste, either. |

| Cynaera (In a hammock under my own vine and fig tree.) | Posted: Dec 02, 2011 - 15:07 This must be the "psychedelia" portion of the program. Wish I had some attitude-adjustment-ammunition so I could fall fully into this groove... |
| Maupie (Velp (gld), the Netherlands) | Posted: Nov 28, 2011 - 04:04 Reminds me of something from Hooverphonic.... don't know which song yet. |
| cohifi (Denver) | Posted: Nov 27, 2011 - 23:08 reminds of the "Ear Worm" description" for some reason. Must be the french title |

The only way to get real absinthe is to buy it in Europe and even then the strength of the wormwood which gives absinthe its more psycho reactive properties varies. |
