Throwback Video 010/015
This is another one I should probably just not explain but for this one, I feel like it's not obfuscated...you can probably tell something is up just from the chords I chose and the lyrical composition. But in either case, this one was written about my first experience with mescaline, extracted from a cactus called San Pedro (aka Trichocereus Pachanoi).
Truth be told, I should have done a little more research so that I could have been prepared for the sick-to-my-stomach feeling that hit me shortly after drinking the bitter mash. Anyway, those days are a long ways behind me now, but I really was pleased with this song. It was probably the most unpopular of my personally curated collection of orignals, but it stayed on the list just for me :)
Lyrics:
Six by Seven, they all walk down
Six by seven, into the hole in the ground
And I would never have wondered,
If I'd never seen.
But as it is I'm blundered and lost and I've fractured the words that I meant to mean. San Pedro, got me feelin' all wrong,
San Pedro, got me feelin' all wrong, San Pedro, got me feeli---in' all wrong
Stuck here in San Pedro, feelin' all wrong,
The Arab of Lawrencia sang his sad song of his lost friend,
Turn it into the night and it's fear and loathing in Lawrence again
And I would never have wondered,
If I'd never seen.
But as it is I'm blundered and lost and I've fractured the words that I meant to mean. San Pedro, got me feelin' all wrong,
San Pedro, got me feelin' all wrong,
San Pedro, got me feelin' all wrong,
Dark walk after midnight,
Underneath melted moonlight,
San Pedro got me feelin' all wrong, but baby you've got me feelin' alright
