He's just another victim of the system's bloody knife

A problem evader, an escapee of life

A temporary soma not yet prescribed

Has stripped him of ego with each lungful imbibed

Get your mindset altered here

I will provide you with some fantastic gear

Up, down, sideways, forward and back

Our children submit to lysergic attack

Hiding in tantric mesmerised trances

As the warehouse light show flickers and dances

Synapses snap as his madness advances

Leaving him open to paranoid fancies

Lost in the garden of fantastic mind

I'm leaving my ego and body behind

Trails of false images hang in the air

The smell of strange colours are heard everywhere

Over the rainbow and into the light

I'm orbiting slowly, I'm high as a kite

Can't remember my name anymore

Everything's changed since I opened the door

Get out, demons, get out - Controlling my brain

Freak out, healing, freak out - Going insane

Hit out, feelings, hit out - Cannot explain

Reach out, reeling, reach out - Calling my name

For twenty-four hours time has no meaning

But several days later kicking and screaming

With delusions of grandeur and one o'clock fit

A family signed section has caught me in the net

Can't seem to regain control of my fears

The world's receding and leaving me here

Get out, demons, get out - Controlling my brain

Freak out, healing, freak out - Going insane

Hit out, feelings, hit out - Cannot explain

Reach out, reeling, reach out - Calling my name

A shot of the hard stuff makes him tranquil and straight

No danger to public, himself or the state

Under sedation he won't shed no tears

Inwardly tortured by demonic fears

Can't remember my name anymore

Everything's changed since I opened the door

Get out, demons, get out - Controlling my brain

Freak out, healing, freak out - Going insane

Hit out, feelings, hit out - Cannot explain

Reach out, reeling, reach out - Calling my name

Ravers, gyrators, heaving with sweat

Have you tried any good ecstasy yet?

If you don't wind up sleeping in gardens of stone

You'll be a new person if you ever get home

For the sake of your sanity, family and friends

Leave subconscious traveling to gurus and men

Who're prepared for the journey with no beginning or end

'Cause a mind that is broken is a hard thing to mend
