Elevator in the Brain Hotel Media


"Elevator in the Brain Hotel"

(plain chalk handwriting now known
not to have been drawn by any
individual under the influence)



"Epistle To Dippy"
-Donovan

Look on yonder misty mountain
See the young monk meditating rhododendron forest
Over dusty years, I ask you
What's it been like being you?
Through all levels you've been changing
Getting a little bit better no doubt,
The doctor bit was so far out.
Looking through crystal spectacles,
I can see I had your fun.
Doing us paperback reader
Made the teacher suspicious about insanity,
Fingers always touching girl.
Through all levels you've been changing
Getting a little bit better no doubt,
The doctor bit was so far out.
Looking through all kinds of windows
I can see I had your fun.
Looking through all kinds of windows
I can see I had your fun.
Looking through crystal spectacles
I can see I had your fun.
Looking through crystal spectacles
I can see I had your fun.
Rebelling against society,
Such a tiny speculating whether to be a hip or
Skip along quite merrily.
Through all levels you've been changing
Elevator in the brain hotel
Broken down a-just as well-a
Looking through crystal spectacles,
Ah, I can see I had your fun.
Dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum
Dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum
Dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum
Dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum
Dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum

  2. You know that "soup" is actually drug-kid language for drugs? I found it out by listening to these Donovan lyrics:

    "In a tiny piece of colored glass
    My love was born
    And reds and golds and yellows
    Were the colors in the dawn
    Night brought on its purple cloak
    Of velvet to the sky
    And the girls were wheeling, spinning
    On jersey Thursday...
    SAYING THEY WANTED SOME 'SOUP'
    WHICH REALLY JUST MEANS THEY WANTED
    DRUGS"

    I don't want to be too hasty in my interpretation of these lyrics, but I think Donovan is saying something quite telling about the drug-culture lexicon.

    All I'm saying is think about it.

  3. Hi don't ask me how I found your page, it's legally questionable but I am an archaeologist and I just wanted to let you know that you have been miseducated. I am an archaeologist, and I dig up Tyrannosaurids for a living. The Tyrannosaurus Rex (also known as a T. Rex) does not have only emotions ranging between angry or confused, they just have facial characteristics that happen to look like that. And no, it is not because it is in the Chordata phylum. Also, what you described as "tiny, useless arms" is just the way Jesus made the T. Rex. I feel that you have provided information that may cause some false assumptions about T. Rexes and anthropomorphization and I just wanted to clarify that for you.
