Elephant
by Tame Impala
Well he feels like an elephant
Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it
He knows that you're dreamin' about being loved by him
Too bad your chances are slim
And it's not like Mr. Shuck
To get shy when I ask who always is on top
There must be something deep down in the middle down there
He's not too easily scared
He's got friends but they got the feeling
Wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared
Oh, look, see there he is now coming down the stairs
(Here he comes)
He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac (yeah)
'Cause he doesn't like it looking like he looks back
He talks like his opinion is a simple fact
Somebody grabbed his collar
He cried the whole way home
No one remembered a thing when they saw him again
That's how it is 'til the end (yeah)

This part of Dumbo used to scare the crap out of me as a kid.
Jeff Strichart
@Keep Watch I know that. I have tripped around 100-150 times on various substances and done astral travel too. One time a combination of mushrooms and LSD sent me further out on the astral plane than anything else I ever did. Anyway the kid said LSD so I told him it was not around yet. That's all.
Keep Watch
@Jeff Strichart Mescaline, Peyote, Absinthe and Psilocybin to name a few. Psychedelics have been around for a lot longer than you realize.
Jeff Strichart
@Keep Watch LSD was discovered quite by accident in 1938 by Albert Hoffman, however he did not discover its effects until 1943 when he accidentally got a drop on his skin. Dumbo was released in 1941 so nobody was on acid. This came straight from the minds of some very creative people.
