i am no expert but i suspect she needs coaching in her breathing techniques (aspirations) as she seems to miss some notes
the 1:46 mark "when she was just small" she really takes off as she was clearly building up to that moment
she is better than Grace Slick who actually wrote that amazing song
i see it more as a Viet Nam protest song than a pro psychedelic song although Grace was a huge fan of psychedelic drugs
she was going to drop some acid that she had planted under her long fingernails into Reagan's tea at a stand up tea party at the white house she was invited to
she had been invited not as grace slick but under her maiden name as someone who had graduated the same college as reagans son
when she got to the door the FBI had figured out who she was said she was on their watch list for her protest songs and would not let her in
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you ( i see these lines challenging authority)
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(war machinery perhaps a tank)
Has given you the call(the draft)
Call Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go ( military leaders)
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead ( chaos of viet nam)
And the White Knight is talking backwards ( incompetent leadership)
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head (feed your mind with knowledge and truth)
Feed your head(repeated for emphasis)
