Voyage 34 - Phase One

Lyrics for Voyage 34 - Phase One

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
