The song title refers to the purportedly unlucky number ‘13’. Addresses many unpleasant situations happening to the singer, attributing them to a possible bad LSD trip, drug into which the band often indulged in a very unbridled way. Plus psychedelic and hallucinative references.
Spontaneous dirtclouds are after me
Epoxy frogs attach themselves to my face
Is this a bad dream?
Or is it a bad acid trip?
Head in the sink
My foot is in the toilet
Fluids from my stomach
Are moving forward
I'm a psychedelic junkie
Can't get my hair cut short
I look like a monkey
A monkey, a monkey
I just don't know
My brain is burning a hole
Right in the top of my head
Well, I'm just going nuts
I just, I just wish, I just wish
That I was dead
That I was dead
