[Verse 1]
Woke up from a dream, got in a limousine
Went to a party, nobody knew me
It was a fancy affair, I think they're giving out awards
I wonder what for
I met a serpentine, he served a drink to me
He told me that he'd seen
Everything that I've seen
Has he seen his soul?
"This tastes like gasoline,"
He said, "Exactly"
Now get out the back door before they take your sanity
'Fore you know
'Fore I knew it, I was walking home
All alone on a dusty road
Didn't know what to do, where to go,
Ooh, but I did
It's a long, strange trip
[Verse 2]
A solemn a mystery, make it for our history
Somebody once told me
If you're looking for trouble you will find it
And I did
Got on a big old plane
Said, take me far away
No place to go today
But I wanna see everything I can
I met a soldier once, he was a peaceful man
Didn't know what he was fighting for
I think he didn't understand
I know it's hard
I wish that I could say
There was another way
But I know
It's not so
It's a long, strange trip
