Music: 'The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane'Oh sure, it's not a topical song in any fashion, but still, who among us hasn't shared the roller coaster thrills described in this classic track by Jeffrey Lewis? (For those of you raised your hands, you can stop feeling smug already.)

Why'd I eat the acid? I don't know
I wasn't thinking and I wasn't scared
Why'd I eat the acid? I wasn't prepared
The last time I did acid I went insane I was hanging with some friends just getting loaded
When all of a sudden my mind exploded
I had a flash that I was gay and I got paranoid
I was sitting on the floor listening to Pink Floyd
The last time I did acid I went insane And I was drawing crazy pictures and before I was done
The picture starting pulsing like an alien lung
And I said "oh my god, this has just begun"
And It was twelve more hours before I was done We were up on the rooftop and I'll tell you the truth
I was convinced I woulda fallen offa the roof
And these weird metal things all around that space
Were teleporting me from place to place
The last time I did acid I went insane So we ran back downstairs where it's better to be
But I was trapped in spiral staircase infinity
And when we got to the door I couldn't go inside
'cause it was the gates of heaven, and I had died
The last time I did acid I went insane And this kid named Grim, he punched a cat in the head
He could read my thoughts, that's what he said
And he described what it was like, but I didn't believe it
Like lifting a rug and seeing stars beneath it oooo oo And the first rule of tripping was - don't be with people you don't trust
The second rule of LSD - the rooftop is not a good place to be
The third rule is to be prepared
The fourth rule is to not get scared
The fifth rule is to stay serene - "turn off your mind and float downstream"
The sixth rule's to have a good friend at hand
The seventh rule, I hope ya understand
Is not to look too deep into your soul
Or you might find a hideous, hopeless, hole
Of hatred, hunger, infinite idiot, mindless, meaningless,
Nothingness, nothingness, nothingness,
Nothingness, nothingness, nothingness,
Nothingness, nothingness, nothingness,
Nothingness, nothingness,
And that's what I did... And every aspect of mine that I selected
Was instantly and completely dissected
I saw the horrible emptiness within
The reasons behind everything
And it was that moment that I went insane Cause I figured why bother doing anything again
I didn't understand the thoughts revealing themselves to be
The truth behind everything I'd ever wanted or need
Revealed itself to beeeeeeee Unnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
winding (low, murmurring voices) I've just discovered the meaning of life!
I've just discovered the meaning of life!
I've just discovered the meaning of life!
I've just discovered the meaning of life!
