Hey, all this talk of people coming up with their own brilliant HW lyrics would
be an interesting thread - we'll get to show off our poetic sides... You never
know, with Dave running out of ideas/lyrics, he _might_ just use some...

Here's my shot at poetic glory (sing to the tune of 'LSD'):

We are celestials
we are the stars
we are the tickets
that are to ride
inside the brain
to the center of the eye
Out of the paper and
into our minds
songs are a' changin'
all day and night
we must be ready
for cosmic flight

The cosmos it beckons
collapsing on itself
ever expanding
beyond ourselves
chanting our mantras
You know that's right
we light our incence
turn on our black lights
look at the posters
maybe next friday
oh well, we might
