Voyage 34 (Phase One)

Lyrics

This remarkable, sometimes incoherent transcript
 Illustrates a phantasmagoria
 Of fear, terror, grief, exaltation
 And finally, breakdown
 Its highlights have been compressed on this recording
 To make their own disquieting points
 ♪
 The time is 9:30 p.m.
 One hour after the participants
 Have eaten sugar cubes saturated with LSD
 We hear Brian and his fellow travelers
 Observing their gradual transformation
 ♪
 Brian has been amusing his friends
 By chewing on some plastic flashbulbs
 Brian's mood is gradually changing
 He orders all of his friends into another room
 Closes the door
 He sits alone on the wooden floor
 Visible only by the dim light shining from the bathroom
 He talks to himself
 ♪
 The time is now 1 a.m.
 Brian is unable to snap his fingers
 And terminate the trip
 Which continues
 ♪
 He sobs
 As his joy turns to fear
 ♪
 Brian's rocky journey
 Ended twelve hours after it so innocently have begun
 He was shattered by it
 ♪
 This young man never had a bummer
 In some 33 LSD trips
 Every one of them was a delight
 Everything under control
 He needed only to snap his fingers
 And down he came, any time
 But on voyage 34, he finally met himself
 Coming down an up staircase
 And the encounter was crushing
