Donovan The Trip Lyrics

We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A.
About a-midnight hour
And it almost b-b-blew my mind
I got caught in a coloured shower
All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset
I saw a sign in the sky
It said The t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip
I couldn't keep up up if I tried
Ah, we stepped down to reality company
To get some instant sleep
And the driver turned and said Welcome back
He smiled and he said Beep beep

What goes on Chick-a-chick
What goes on I really wanna know
What goes on all around me
What goes on I really wanna know

When in should come-a my dream woman
She got sequins in her hair
Like she stepped out off of a Fellini film
She sat in a white straw chair
But I thought I'd take a second look
Just to see what I could see
And my scene had popped out like a bubble does
There was nobody there but me
I said Girl you drank a lot of drink-me
But you ain't in a Wonderland
You know I might-a be there to greet you child
When your trippin' ship-a touches sand
What goes on Chick-a-chick
What goes on I really wanna know
What goes on Chick-a-chick
What goes on I really wanna know

A silver goblet of wine is-a to be
Held in a bejewelled glove
And her knights they toast the tournament
The falcons they fly above
And but the queen will a drink of the dew tonight
But the jester she cries alone
Because Merlin spoke of an instant spell
To make the devil's white knights moan
And-a all in all the seagull said
As I look to where I've been
The whole wide human race
Has a-taken far too much Methedrine

What goes on Chick-a-chick
What goes on I really wanna know
What goes on So near
What goes on I really wanna know
Yeah well come on

We sat in a velvet jewel case
With sparkles everywhere
And Julian he sat on a diamond ring
And-a talked of the days gone by
We spoke of a common kaleidoscope
And the pros and the cons of Zen
And he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake
He really did have a yen
Bobby Dylan he sat the Mad Hatter
A broken hour glass in his hand
And-a Joannie sat in a white lace
Looking cool with a black lace fan

What goes on Chick-a-chick
What goes on I really wanna know
What goes on Yes please tell me
What goes on I really wanna know
