Electric Lady Land

 

There’s a place I go inside my head    
When on the inner paths I tread    
When my eyelids turn to led    
And I sink into my bed    
Pulsating pictures point the way    
As I drift by purple pelican bay    
where fully flavored gum trees sway    
and lickable liquorish leeches lay    
    
I dived into a sea of dreams    
In a yellow submarine    
A thousand miles past Pepperland    
I came to a shore of purple sand    
Where drifting dreamers in a daze    
Were not the slightest bit amazed    
to see bicycling butterflies    
Gliding past them towards the sky    
    
I wandered through a fractal forest    
To the big rock candy mountains    
Eventually I came to rest    
By a cascading crystal fountain    
In its clear and jeweled waters    
An angels face reflected there    
With a rainbow row of flowers    
Placed within her silver hair    
But as I turned around    
She was nowhere to be found    
Somewhere trees were falling down    
But they never made a sound    
    
There’s gold at the bottom of the well    
where devilish dooly doppers dwell    
They spend their spare time racing snails    
On the backs of turtle shells    
    
Cellophane sorcerers seal seven secrets in pristine prismic pyramids    
and place their cryptic scriptures on the wall where shiny silver beetles crawl    
Electric ladys lounge near a lagoon of liquid light as laughing leprechauns chase speedy sprites    
I watched a circus show that featured flying purple people eaters    
And alien acrobats turning somersaults and wintersaults    
without ever coming to a halt    
    
    
I sat with Humpty on a bench    
And told him "None of this makes sense"    
He replied with a sudden burst of laughter    
"does it even really matter?"    
    
I said" maybe not but anyway    
I must be off I cannot stay.    
I haven't much more time for play    
Ill come again some other day."    
    
So I caught a flight with Mr. Kite    
Until the land was out of sight    
I opened my eyes at 6:15    
And couldn't quite remember where id been
