The Key to Discovery

from Sanity by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

Volunteered at the Veterans’ Clinic, 75 dollars a day
They’d leave me in a white room on my own again
Every day they’d bring another capsule for me to take
To bring on various psychoses

CHORUS
Like a picture appears from straight lines and curves
We were handed the key to discovery

Psilocybin, Mescaline, Peyote or Amphetamine
Ditran was the bummer, bring on the dread
The blanket hairs appeared as a field of thorns diseased
I’d put my fingers down my throat and wretch

CHORUS
Like a picture appears from straight lines and curves
We were handed the key to discovery
The white smocks thought they were doing the research
We were handed the key to discovery

A squirrel dropped an acorn from the tree outside
LSD brought me touch and sound and sight
Ceiling started moving on shadowed plains of level and light
The upside down desert sprang to life

CHORUS
