Lyrics Tommy Is Dead - Original Mix - Nystagmus

Tommy Forester is dead.
Tommy was going to be a Engineer.
He was twenty two, good-looking, personable, athletic.
He had an high IQ. The dean said he had the best
Potential of any man in his class.
But Tommy is Dead.
His problem was acid.
D-lysergic acid-formela 25 called LSD.
A close friend told him that LSD was psychedelic, mind expanding. Said it would give hime fantastics
New sensations and thrill.
So Tommy tried it, and his friend was right.
At first the LSD made him sick in his stomach,
But then Tommy began to hallucinate.
The air began to be filled with rainbows.
A very atmosphere seemed to be a moving
Current of multi color particles which
Came streaming down around you.
And when he listened to the stereo, he
Saw colored particles, floating up
From the speakers.
And when he looked at the walls, they
Seem to be mealting. The pictures on
The walls became liquified with colors
Running down like watherfall.
It was sensational.
Inside himself, Tommy felt sublimated.
Short of subspended in space.
He had an euphoric feeling of wounderfull
Well being. Then he looked at a mirror
And something horroble happened.
First it seemed that half of his face was rotting away.
Then he began to seeing himself as an grotesque
Misshaped monster. He looked around the room
And all the people were becoming monsters.
Evrybody knew what was happenning to Tommy, because
He began screaming and describing what he was seeing.
Tommy had the feeling that he wanted to smash his head
Against the wall, to bring himself out of
This stuck.
He did it. Blood spurted from his nose and
A large cut bloodeing his face.
But he felt no pain. Then he pounded his head
On a doorpost. Somebody in the room tried to
Stop him. He felt they were his enemies so
He jerked away.
He ran to the next room where an open window
Looked out on the roof across the street. It
Was eighteen storeys to the ground.
Tommy thougt to himself that the roof
Across the streets was realy just a few
Inches away. He could jump on it, and
Thereby escape.
He tried.
Tommy is dead.
