"John Lilly" lyrics

"John Lilly"

Now in this book there are a lot of stories about talking animals... talking snakes, and birds, and fish... and about people who try to communicate with them

John Lilly, the guy who says he can talk to dolphins, said he was in an aquarium, and he was talking to a big whale who was swimming around and around in his tank. And the whale kept asking him questions telepathically. And one of the questions the whale kept asking was: "do all oceans have walls?"

You know, I've always thought that one of the most serious defects of the human body was that you couldn't close your ears
You can't point them anywhere or close them, they just sort of hang there on the sides of your head
But an acupuncturist explained to me that the pressure points in the ears are very important, because the whole body is represented right there in the ear
"The ears, "he said, "are vestigial fetuses, little versions of yourself, one male and one female." And he showed me: "here's the lobe, that's the miniature upside down head; and this curve here is the spine, and right here are the little genitals..."

And that was when I went back to wearing hats
