You climb up a pink tree
and you look down into its eye
and a girl in a blue glider
slowly passes you by.
The tree puts on wheels
and starts to skate downhill
and Grace from the Airplanes
hands you a red pill.
You hear a guitar in the distance
screaming at its strings
they’re all still Minor but lately
they’ve been acting like BB King.
The tree has burnt its rubber
and caught fire at the roots
he asks you to get off politely
and walks off to buy new boots.
The river, meanwhile, chugs on
carrying sandmen to the west
they’re mining for gold there, you hear
and they’re dressed in their best.
You run into half a rainbow
he’s weeping as he turns a bend
“Eastman’s stolen our treasure!” he says
“have to talk to my other end!”
You then step into a bush
and out pops a doorknob
he’s worried out here, you see
he’s looking for a job.
They’re partying down at the electric store
the Toaster and the Oven
Kettle and Stove chime in with glee
“Ben Franklin’s in town!
You think it’s pretty early for a party
but you can’t really recall
cos a man named Dali took your watch
melted and hung it on a wall
You start to get worried now
since you can’t figure out the time
and lo! walks up Einstein
with his friend from Desolation Row, the Mime.
“It doesn’t really matter” says the mime
and his friends promptly points to his head
“my friend here sorted it out, you see
or else he’d still be dead.”
You decide to be happy for a while
so you gulp down some ecstacy
Mary Jane comes to you popping wisdom
“Fettooshee! Fettooshee!”
