Donovan - The Trip Lyrics
We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A.,About a-midnight hourAnd it almost b-b-blew my mind,I got caught in a coloured shower.All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset,I saw a sign in the skyIt said, "T-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip,"I couldn't keep up up if I tried.Ah, we stepped down to reality companyTo get some instant sleepAnd the driver turned, I said, "Welcome back"He smiled and he said, "Beep beep".What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.What goes on ? I really wanna know.What goes on all around me,What goes on ? I really wanna know.When in should come-a my dream woman,She got sequins in her hair,Like she stepped out off of a Fellini film,She sat in a white straw chairBut I thought I'd take a second lookJust to see what I could seeAnd my scene had popped out like a bubble does,There was nobody there but me.I said, "Girl, you drank a lot of drink-me,But you ain't in a WonderlandYou know I might-a be there to greet you, child,When your trippin' ship touches sand."What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.What goes on ? I really wanna know.What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.What goes on ? I really wanna know.A silver goblet of wine is-a to beHeld in a bejewelled gloveAnd her knights they toast the tournament,The falcons they fly above.And the queen will a drink of the dew tonightBut the jester she cries alone,Because Merlin he spoke of an instant spellTo make the devil's white knights moanAnd-a all in all, the seagull said,"As I look to where I've been,The whole wide human raceHas a-taken far too much Methedrine".What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.What goes on ? I really wanna know.What goes on ? So nearWhat goes on ? I really wanna know.Yeah well, come on.We sat in a velvet jewel caseWith sparkles everywhere,And Julian he sat on a diamond ringAnd-a talked of the days gone by.We spoke of a common kaleidoscopeAnd the pros and the cons of ZenAnd he spoke and-a said for a piece of cakeHe really did have a yen.Bobby Dylan he sat "the Mad Hatter",A broken hour glass in his hand,And-a Joannie sat in a white laceLooking cool with a black lace fan.What goes on ? Chick-a-chick.What goes on ? I really wanna know.What goes on ? Yes please tell me.What goes on ? I really wanna know
