~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
new psychedelic lyrics for "American Pie" by Don McLean
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
by ungelesene bettlektüre --- footnote 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Prelude]
A long long time ago
I can still remember how
That acid used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But the Ides of April (footnote 2) made me shiver --- footnote 3
With every blotter I'd deliver --- footnote 4
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more micro step
I can't remember if I cried
when I read about his widowed bride --- footnote 5
But something touched me deep inside
The day the acid lied --- footnote 6
So
[Chorus]
Bye, bye sweet Miss Swiss Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking Eleusis of Rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I Samadhi
This'll be the day that I Samadhi
[Verse]
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God within all of us
If the Vedes tell us so?
Now do you believe in Drum'n'Bass
Can Acid save your mortal ass
And can you teach me how to dance real ace?
Now I know that you're in Love with 'cid
Cause I saw you dancing to the vid --- footnote 7
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues --- footnote 8
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the acid lied
I started singin'
[Chorus]
Bye, bye sweet Miss Swiss Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking Eleusis of Rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I Samadhi
This'll be the day that I Samadhi
[...]
Lots of work remains to be done here -the author.
[Last verse]
But not a word was spoken
The Tryptamines were not broken
And the two men I admire the most:
The Alberts (footnote 9) and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last bicycyle for the coast
The day holy geometry wasn't broke
And they were singing
[Chorus]
High, high sweet Miss Swiss Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee and the levee isn't dry
Them good ole boys are drinking Eleusis of Rye
LSD is never ever going to die!
Oh no, acid is never ever going to die!
Yes high, high sweet Miss Swiss Pie!
LSD is never ever going to die!
Oh no, acid is never ever going to die!!!

footnote 1: independent psychonaut
footnote 2: Latin: Ides: the middle of a month. cf. "The Ides of March", Caesar and so on...
footnote 3: Obviously, bicycle day is meant: the 19th of April of 1943. The intake of 250µg LSD
did make Saint Albert shiver!
footnote 4: Please note that the "lyrical self" singing is not myself - I do not deliver blotters or
any other form of illegalized or grey-marked drugs! -the author
footnote 5: The author is not quite sure himself about what this line could mean. It could either
refer to the daughter of Dr. Timothy Leary, who was arrested due to the possesion of a
small amount of marijuana which in course also lead to the rst imprisonment of Leary
himself. It could also refer to the daughter of Robert Anton Wilson, who unfortunatly
died an untimely violent death.
footnote 6: Also a pun on the German word "Lied" for "song".
footnote 7: The music video of "Divine Moments Of Truth" by Shpongle is meant, see

footnote 8: Please help me out with a new verses here! -the author
CopyLeft by me, ungelesene bettlektüre, USB!

Darf ich von heute an den Titel eines irre dichten Fürsten für mich in Anspruch nehmen...?

Allerdings kann ich leider selbst halt überhaupt nicht singen...

Also, wenn jemand eine Engelsstimme hat, bitte melden!

Oder wenn wer ein paar fette Beats dazu basteln könnte, wäre das natürlich auch cool...

Tipps, wie die Übersetzung weitergehen soll, Hinweise auf Tippfehler, sonstiges Feedback, etc. ... ist natürlich auch immer hochwillkommen!
