I encounter self-transforming elf machines
Which are creatures
Entities, perhaps
Although they're not made out of matter
They're made out of syntax driving life
It's one of the most challenging parts of the whole psychedelic landscape
Most people can accept the idea of
Disordered sensory input
Recovery of traumatic memory material

[Pre-Chorus]
But what are we to do with an elf?
What are we to do with an elf?
What-What are we to do with an elf?

You know, that becomes a little harder to contextualize in psychoanalytic theory
Although Jung did a good job
When he said
Autonomous elements can escape from the psyche's control
And present themselves as independent entities
I'm not sure he's ever seen
A self-transforming elf machine
It's the defining characteristic of the true DMT Flash
I mean, it is not subtle
These things mob you like badly trained rottweilers
They come bounding forward by the dozens, by the hundreds
They jump into your body
They jump out of your body
I mean, it maps, to some degree over the archetype of the little people
The leprechaun, the fay, and being Irish and being Jungian
I'm willing to entertain, you know maybe I have a special relationship to this stuff
But then, in the Amazon the people using DMT that I studied
The reason they did it, they said
Was to speak with the little people
Was to speak with the little people
[Chorus]
What are we to do with an elf?
What are we to do with an elf?
What are we to do with an elf?
What are we to do with an elf?

What puzzles me about my contacts with these beings
It conforms to, let's say, the Irish model
They are small, full of merriment
Almost to a manic and frightening level
It's sort of like a Bugs Bunny cartoon gone berserk
They are friendly, but play rough
It's a land of explosions and falling anvils
The overwhelming feeling is
Love is kind of crazy, childish affection
And they're delighted to have me in their presence
These entities have an agenda
It's a very curious agenda
They use a language, which, you see
It is made out of sound, but you see it
And the entire point of the encounter
Seems to be to teach you to do this
They want you to transform your language
They want you to speak
Elfish but you know what?
If you've never done DMT and you just smoked it
And you're 30 seconds into this experience
And this is what it's come down to
[Chorus]
What are we to do with an elf?
What are we to do with an elf?
What are we to do with an elf?
What are we to do with an elf?
