lick-the-drip
Come along and get it
A thrill is on its way
You know you're going to feel good
It's a bam bam bam

You've heard all the stories
The music and folklore
The legends that surround it
Thrill and scare you all the more

It's there for the taking
Can't you see it drip
Stick your tongue out baby
And enjoy your very first sip

Mmm, now you lick your lips
And smile from side to side
Get ready for the spine change
On your very own ticket to ride

Now for sure you're feeling high
The world around you can't pass by
You might feel scared
You won't get through
But this will be
The making of you

Now you're feeling different
The round becomes a hole
Your feeling the excitement
Seeing light just like a mole

Friends are seeming distant
You sense you are alone
Going on the journey
That will eventually lead home

Lights shine up from down below
Tying you to the ground
You've made it to the top now
And lost calm is what you've found

Time to come back down again
Rejoin the mundane world with
Your friends you can be safe again
In silence not a word

Now for sure you're feeling high
The world around you can't pass by
You might feel scared
You won't get through
But this will be
The making of you

Now the dawn is breaking
As you cross the great divide
It's time we started walking
To find a quiet place to hide

We move along the water
With no one yet around
Steering straight in one direction
Knowing where we're bound

Fashion has a funny way
Of dressing up the day
We don't give a damn
You can all think what you may

Drawing the experience
It's all been done before
But now that you've come through it
You've come through the war

It's there for the taking
Can't you see it drip
Stick your tongue out baby
And enjoy your very first sip

Mmm, now you lick your lips
And smile from side to side
Get ready for the spine change
On your very own ticket to ride

Lick the Drip

One story of a day trip with friends, a while ago. Some hairy moments. So many young people passing through Camden. The rites of passage. All the drugs in the world in the market and down by the canal. Browse the shops on Chalk Farm Road. Buy some magic mushrooms.
