lyrics

Sometimes I can not protect myself
From being badly beaten by a shelf
‘Cos I’m the dreaming sort
And I’m often caught
Off guard.
Living this way has its consolations:
Flat upon your face you get good vibrations
Watching sunlight shimmer
In a broken mirror
Shard.

CHORUS
‘Cos I don’t need your LSD
Your mushrooms are no use to me
I get all my kicks for free, just
Tripping over everything.
Half-grown apples on the tree
The smell of spices fried in ghee
Look around and soon you’ll be just
Tripping over everything like me,
Tripping over everything you see.

Passers-by who infect you with a song
Compliments that somehow come out wrong
Planet Venus smile
Ninety million miles
Away.
No need to stop if you want to get ahead
Rivals to be stabbed and left for dead
If it’s all the same
I’ve a different game
To play.
CHORUS
