Timothy Leary in 1966 before a public lecture explaining his new League of Spiritual Discovery

One pill makes you largerAnd one pill makes you smallAnd the ones that mother gives youDon't do anything at allGo ask AliceWhen she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbitsAnd you know you're going to fallTell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillarHas given you the callCall AliceWhen she was just small(1967)

Purple haze all in my brainLately things just don’t seem the sameActin’ funny, but I don’t know why’scuse me while I kiss the skyPurple haze all aroundDon’t know if I’m comin’ up or downAm I happy or in misery? What ever it is, that girl put a spell on me(1967)

In-a-gadda-da-vida honey,don'tcha know that I love you?In-a-gadda-da-vida baby,don'tcha know that I'll always be true?

Oh won'tcha come with me,and take my hand?Oh won'tcha come with me,and walk this land?(1968)

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,With tangerine trees and marmalade skiesSomebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,Towering over your head.Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,And she’s gone.Lucy in the sky with diamonds.(1967)

You know the day destroys the nightNight divides the dayTried to runTried to hideBreak on through to the other sideBreak on through to the other sideBreak on through to the other side, yeah(1967)
