lyrics:

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don’t do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she’s ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall
Tell ’em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she’ll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen’s off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head

“the Jefferson Airplane, later known as Jefferson Starship and Starship,
American psychedelic rock band best known for its biting political lyrics,
soaring harmonies, and hallucinogenic titles, such as Surrealistic Pillow and “White Rabbit.”

~ an important standard-bearer for the counterculture in the 1960s
~ original members were:

Marty Balin (original name Martyn Jerel Buchwald) 1942 – 2018
Paul Kantner 1941 – 2016
Jorma Kaukonen 1940 –
Signe Anderson 1941- 2016

~ The Airplane was the first San Francisco-based band to land a major label contract

“The band, its membership constantly shifting,
released albums for 20 years as the Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and Starship.
Although it experienced commercial success
—most notably with 1975’s chart-topping Red Octopus and its Top Ten single “Miracles”
—the band never recaptured the moment when its music stood for something more,
when the Airplane spoke for change on behalf of the culture that produced it.
The Jefferson Airplane was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.”
