Psychedelic Shack lyrics

[Knock on door; door creaks open]

[Cheers and applause] Hold it, hold it, hold it, listen

[Intro]

Yeah

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at

Yeah

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at

People, let me tell you 'bout a place I know

To get in, it don't take much dough

Where you can really do your thing, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Oh yeah.)

It's got a neon sign outside that says "come in and take a look at your mind."

You'll be surprised what you might find, yeah. (Yeah.)

Strobe lights flashing from sun up to sun down

People gather there from all parts of town. (Oh yeah.)

Right around the corner

You know it's just across the track

People I'm talking about the psychedelic shack

Get back

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at. (Get on down.)

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at. (Mmmm, mmmm.)

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at

Yeah. (Oh yeah.)

You can have your fortune told

You can learn the meaning of soul

There ain't no such a thing as time (And oh) and time

Incense in the air. (Mmmm, hmmm.)

Peace signs painted everywhere

I guarantee you this place will blow your mind

They got music so high you can't get over it

So low you can't get under it. (Uh huh.)

Let me tell you where it's at

Right around the corner, (Oh yeah.) just across the track

People, I'm talking 'bout the psychedelic shack

Get psyched

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at

Yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Millionaires, kings and queens go there to do their thing

You might see anybody there, yeah, yeah

Bear skin rugs, tails and minks

Oooh, it don't really matter what you wear

Oh, you can take off your shoes and sit on the floor

Join in and be what you wanna be

Don't you know that it's right around the corner

(Oh yeah.) Just across the track

People, I'm talking about the psychedelic shack

Get back

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at

Yeah. (Oh yeah.)

They got a cat that's shouting the blues

Talking about paying some dues

People walking around reciting poetry, yeah

Oooh, oooh, oooh, screaming guitars, a thousand colored lights

People, I'm telling you this place is really out of sight

(Hey.) Yeah!

You can have your fortune told

You can learn the meaning of soul

I guarantee you this place will blow your mind

Don't you know it's right around the corner...
