White Rabbit-Jefferson Airplane


White Rabbit es una cancion que compuso Grace Slick, la que fué durante un tiempo vocalista principal del grupo Jefferson Airplane. Se refería a el libro "Alice in Wonderland" cuando la compuso, pero también se refirió a la experiencia psicodélica con el LSD y otras drogas de la época que actuaban directamente en la mente alterando la conciencia. Bueno, "Alice in Wonderland" la verdad es que parece también escrita por alguien en pleno viaje psicodélico.

One pill makes you larger,
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you,
Don't do anything at all,
Go ask Alice,
When she's ten feet tall.

And if you go chasing rabbits,
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar,
Has given you the call,
Recall Alice,
When she was just small.

When men on the chessboard,
Get up and tell you where to go,
And you've just had some kind of mushroom,
And your mind is moving slow,
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.

When logic and proportion,
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards,
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"

Remember what the dormouse said;
"Feed yur head, feed your head!"
