I then roamed the campus late at night, thinking maybe I was her in a previous life(college students love to think of all kinds of cerebral things! I did, anyway!)
I did too but it was 1972 and acid was some cerebral rocket fuel. I remember walking around campus at 2am(straight)in pouring rain with this song
