lyrics

"MUSHROOMS OF THUNDER"

I freak out with The Mothers Of Invention!
I follow The Byrds into the fifth dimension!
My elevator stops on the thirteenth floor!
The Music Machine is prelude to The Doors!

Mushrooms of thunder
Are more than hallucination!
Mushrooms of thunder
Move me to wider perception!

The Blues Magoos and The Electric Prunes
Bombard my mind with psychedelic tunes!
Jefferson Airplane and Jimi Hendrix
Sizzle the strings with feedback licks!

Mushrooms of thunder
Are more than hallucination!
Mushrooms of thunder
Move me to wider perception!

The Fugs! Love! Country Joe And The Fish!
Vanilla Fudge! The Red Crayola! Pearls Before Swine!
The Amboy Dukes! Ultimate Spinach! Blue Cheer!
Spirit! Iron Butterfly! Rotary Connection!

The Moog synthesizer of Micky Dolenz,
The ring modulator of the United States Of America,
The theremin of Lothar And The Hand People,
And the oscillators of Silver Apples
Bring the future in screaming!

The Velvet Underground and Alice Cooper arise!
Proto-punk arrives with The Stooges and The MC5!
Captain Beefheart snarls surrealistic blues!
All of them point me toward my mystic muse!

Mushrooms of thunder
Are more than hallucination!
Mushrooms of thunder
Move me to wider perception!

Mushrooms of thunder!
Mushrooms of thunder!
Mushrooms of thunder!
Mushrooms of thunder!
