i'm afraid Oscar isn't really involved here ;) pretty sure he says "we could do ayahuasca".
also, i think in his hallucination he's riding to Malibu on a dune buggy with Neil Young (a reference to his Revolution Blues) who tells him "you're gonna have to drown me down on the beach if you ever want to write the real" as in something as good as the real "On The Beach" album.
I first heard this sing after reading the book "My Life With Charles Manson," and I know it was just parallels my brain created, but...

In the book, it mentioned the Family's "freakout" where they were tripping on belladonna and Manson ran down the street with his pants half on.

The book also spoke about the Family taking over a house on Topanga canyon Blvd.
"My reality is realer than yours" is also very close to a Manson quote "You say your reality is real and my reality is not."

The Dunebuggy part is interesting because of course Manson knew Neil Young, and Manson had a dunebuggy obsession and Young gave Manson a motorcycle. Young also wrote Revolution Blues about Manson. Also, in the book "My Life..." the author talks about Manson trying to choke him out on the beach until he told him he wasn't afraid to die.
West Hollywood connection is easy, the book speaks a lot about it and some of the Family's victims were from there and of an "actress."
Violet was the color Manson gave to Susan Atkins.
The book spoke about Manson burning money, or conning people out of thousands of dollars then simply giving it to the next person he met.
The van verse is also interesting. During the trial, the book mentioned that actor Mark Ross (who Manson entrusted his music to) was at Spahn Ranch and the book's author Paul Watkins passed out in his van and woke up on fire. The Family tried to kill him for going to the LAPD.
And of course, the Family lived in the canyons of LA-- Simi-chatsworth and Malibu.
But, like I said, I am sure the song isn't about this book, but it really make me listen to the lyrics. it's amazing what music can do!
