	This is The Elektrik Sex Dyke's first spoken word track. It involves, as it says in the title, growing up and an acid trip. It was inspired by William S. Burroughs, and Timothy Leary. The words, background noises, and music were all made using my voice.

Lyrics the world struggles to wipe itsself out our arms are tied as our lovers abandon us for themselves and we wait. when i tried to sleep last night thoughts kept eating other thoughts it was impossible to sleep since the thoughts were so loud colors and textures and ideas and shapes flowed in the darkness beneath my eyelids like veins each one was infected by the virus of another thought which soon spread throughout the veins two children, a boy and a girl both with long dusty blonde hair play in the dirt. the time is infinate (yet prehistoric) and they both have marbles. even though they love eachother they bash their marbles into one another. so He came down from the dust and asked the two why they were doing such a thing. the children didn't know why, so they made love instead. He took pictures, yet they were not ashamed. the trailer was brown and so was the shag carpeting inside of it. the shirts they wore when they weren't naked were made with velvet or velour and had horizontal stripes on them. He was hairy and the children were not. though they would be some day. -look at this... _what is it? -i don't know. its bloody. see the spot? _what is it? you shouldn't do that. does it hurt? -no. touch it... _no! -why not? _i just down want to, okay? -i'll dab the tissue on it then. so the tissues were in the toilet and each had a little spot of blood on them. there were five. the two looked down at the pulp. pale blue eyes focused on something unknown. that night He wasn't home so they left to go to a local store, 8 blocks away. they bought candy, the sour kind that nobody really likes and it was 15 cents per piece. they stole the money from Him, from the can under his bed with the quarters and dimes. at 2 am in an apartment its hard to be eleven. screaming and noises are coming from the next room as a husband beats the shit out of his wife crying doesn't make it stop since nobody else is in the apartment and its too hard to call 9 - 1 - 1 sometimes so it can curl into a ball and hope that someone else calls or maybe the man will beat the woman to death maybe if that happens she will stop screaming and it would be easy to sleep if you put your mouth down onto it. like indians would put their ears on train tracks. to see if it was coming. put your mouth down onto it to see if it is coming and if the animal tries to kiss you and you like it then let it. if it tries to fuck your mouth and you are good at receiving that sort of thing then maybe its okay. its not a sin. maybe he isn't watching you today. when you hid your vitamin, he couldn't see that. besides, its underneath the green couch. even He couldn't see underneath the green couch. so how could he see it if He couldn't even? it still got to the boy. he reached beneath the couch and cought some hairs on his fingers. dust on his hand and he found the orange pill and put it in his mouth and he chewed it quickly and nobody else saw it and he erased everything wrong he ever did and that was a religious experience for him because he wouldn't go to hell anymore. he died for his sins, since he didn't like the taste of an orange pill. he ate it anyway and nobody ever knew he put it underneath the couch.
