Verse 1:
The alkaloids of moldy rye, were only the beginning
Of Albert Hofmann's curious and psychotropic drugs
Amino-alcholic variations to their structure
Produced Lysergic 25 - Oh Albert, what have you done?

CHORUS 1:
Hands making trails - and turning quite pale - in a mosaic of diamonds
Perceptions remain, but constantly change - connecting in elegant science
Love pervades my - omnipotent mind - in a profusion of rainbows
But its a gyp - and you are the trip - Oh my beautiful problem child

(DIT DIT DIT DIT...)

Verse 2:
Biking home on '25 - thru curving fields of vision
Stand before the monolith - the Doctor Dionysian
Albert, theres a danger here - and folks are turnin' crazy
The counter-culture psychonauts - are poisoning the Kids

CHORUS 2:
Dizzying minds - and spiralling skies - vivid arrays of distortion
Invulnerable maze, dimensional change - and things of colossal importance
External delights - magnificent sights - a dance of kaleidoscope patterns
And its thanks to you - my beautiful brew - Oh my beautiful problem child

(DIT DIT DIT DIT...)

Verse 4:
Take a trip to Mexico - and chill out with the indians
Salvia and mescalin - exploding in your minds
Gurus on the box again - expounding medications
You never should have synthesized - oh Albert, what have you done?

CHORUS 3:
Cacophonous dreams, invisible screams - a skyline of tormented faces
Demonic applause, ecstatic remorse - cognition of terrible places
The feeling is odd, no longer a god - you're suddenly nothing and nowhere
But there's always you - my beautiful brew - Oh My beautiful problem child
Theres always you - my beautiful brew - Oh my beautiful problem child
And Theres always you - and theres always you - and theres always
there's always, always, always, all...
