Track 1 of the "Meshkalina EP" is a total rebuild of the song originally written and recorded by Peruvian band Traffic Sound in 1969.
lyrics
Yawar Huaca wondered why he was high once
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya
Raped the witch and kill the wild Ayarmacas
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya
Lay me down, Meshkalina
Lay me down, Meshkalina
Ooh
Full of bull he was, oh God let me tell ya
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya
Spread the weed one day all over his empire
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya
Lay me down, Meshkalina
Lay me down, Meshkalina
Ooh
Ahhhhhh
Flavel stayed for fifteen days in his lab once
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya
He said "Man it's hot, let's try my new substance"
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya
Give me some Meshkalina
Give me some Meshkalina
Ooh
We were drivin' hard and wild across country
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya
We were having fun even though we were dying
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya
Let me die Meshkalina
Let me die Meshkalina
Ooh
Meshkalina....
Ahhhhh
Ya ya ya ya! Ya ya ya ya!
Ya ya ya ya! Ya ya ya ya!
Oh!
Ya ya ya ya! Ya ya ya ya!
Ya ya ya ya! Ya ya ya ya!
Ya ya ya ya! Ya ya ya ya!
Ya ya ya ya! Ya ya ya ya!
Now I know it's time for you to sop learnin'
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya
About the games we play every day, every morning
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya ya ya
