Send "Lysergic Bliss" Ringtone to Cell

Wearing an olive drab
But feeling somehow inside opalescent
Wonder how I'm managing to smile oh
When I can't even pay my rent
Maybe it's because I've finally found
My little tulip my Norge dear
Funny how in spite of all my woes
Life can appear rosy and clear
Rosy and clear

And I'm dizzy from her kiss
So vertiginous lost in lysergic bliss

(Because it hurts me so bad)

Love the way you wear your curly hair
Sanguine and spiraling tied in a bun
Love the way it falls about your face
Mercurially gilded by the sun
If we were a pair of jigsaw puzzle pieces
We would connect so perfectly
Creating a still photo of a scene
From the Phantom of Libertay
Of Libertay

And I'm dizzy from her kiss
So vertiginous lost in lysergic bliss

    General Comment:What Kevin is trying to communicate is his affection for his wife, Nina. The shimmering intensity of pure love is akin to the rush of euphoria brought on by substance usage. Those that are drawing conclusions from both column A -and- column B are correct.

    General Comment:Is it me or does he mispronounce vertiginous? I think he says the "g" like it's the same as in "go," where as it should be the same as in "logic." Weird.

    General Comment:It's worth noting that the word "lysergic" is a chemical term, and is what the "L" in LSD stands for (lysergic acid diethylamide).

    When you drop acid, you tend to see the interconnectedness you have with everything around you.

    General Comment:ok, im not saying the song isnt a love song. but he obivously is taking it a step further than just that. he may be using it as both a metaphor for how she makes him feel, but undoubtedly he is talking about acid. if you are familiar with the drug the lyrics seem quiet... well "rosy and clear".

    General Comment:Is it just me, or does it sound like Barnes is singing "Bardo Bardo Bardo!" after being instructed to "Remember your breathing, 1 2 3 4?"
