what would a 13 year old kid from New Jersey know about LSD? pure conjecture, darlink, pure imagination

lyrics

UNDER LsD
1-I was standing on the corner
when this girl came up to me
She said why you standing there
with your feet on fire?
Help somebody please!
She went and called the ambulance
and they came just in time
Cause I was just about to set
the whole darned street on fire
And watch them die, pay them no mind

‘Cause they
Wouldn’t let me make a record
of me playing on my sitar
I could play Sunshine Superman
every way but in colour

2-I was brought to the emergency room
and they gave me a pill
Soon I saw myself and Donovan
playing on Bunker Hill
He played a Beethoven symphony
and the crowd started to hiss
I played my own concerto which was worse
so they threw egg rolls but missed
I don’t know how I wound up
inside of a Mississippi jail
I had been on the phone
with my old friend Uncle Plywood….
(middle 8)
I tried to hide myself from the communists
They make me feel like I’m at war
and lose respect for this:
my right and left hand fists

3-I lifted up a manhole and I spied a waterway
I went and bought myself a sailboat
and floated straight down the straightaway
My mind soon thought of garbage
as my hands plugged up my nose
I soon came to a waterfall
and as you guessed it, down I go’d
I soon ran into the sandman,
while breaking in some brand new shoes
He thought, when no one was looking,
he’d get his harp and play some blues

The Breetles Princeton, New Jersey
