just dropped in

2008.02.27

Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in
I woke up this mornin` with the sundown shinin` in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin` out as I was a-crawlin` in
I got up so tight I couldn`t unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in

Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a "Dead End" sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah yeah oh-yeah

mickey's bio






pretty weird song...i know.
i think that it was written to be a warning of lsd,
however, i think it had an opposite effect.
anyway...i know that there is one truth in the lyrics
that stood out to me...
there really are deep dark holes

photopoet I could just keep staring at this photo—wonderful composition and it sends me off in all directions and then back again to the 'small phases of the moon'. Great abstraction.
