lyrics:
so now we're on a death trip,
listen to the blood drip,
oozing from a curled lip,
ever thought of dying slowly?
ever thought of dying totally unholy?
someone's tryin' to fool us
maybe it's your daughters
can you hear the walrus
offering a sad solution
he's callin' out for teenage revolution
and can you think of one good reason to remain?
to you afficinados
foolin' with bravado
to keep me on my guard-o
cause a consciousness explosion
it's gettin' difficult to keep my mind in emotion
images of sunshine
lease to make the words rhyme
let me die in eight time
let me write a tale to no one
let me write a tale to make you think you're someone
and can you think of one good reason to remain?
we'll grow sweet ipomoea
to make us feel much freer
take a pinch of schemeland
and turn it into dreamland
softly, lautrec,
she whispered in awe,
build me a picture
of children at war
(i don't know the lyrics of the part with the chorus)
