Intro
N.C.
Behold! I am Funkadelic
N.C.
I am not of your world
N.C.
But fear me not
N.C.
I will do you no harm
N.C.
Loan me your funky mind, and I shall play with it
N.C.
For nothing is good, unless you play with it
N.C.
And all that is good is nasty!
N.C.
Fly on, baby
N.C.
mumbling..some orange haze, orange haze, it ain't purple now more...cough
