I know what it's like to be dead, and it's somewhat like listening to this song. Paul McCartney often gets knocked for his supposed excesses (e.g., "Eleanor Rigby" on the same album that sported this attempt at pseudo-profundity), but John Lennon had his moments too. Based on an LSD-inspired comment to John by actor Peter Fonda, this is an all-out attempt at aural psychedelia, and unlike its flip side in "Tomorrow Never Knows," it's more annoying than haunting. A perfect song to clear out the last of the party guests.
