China Cat Sunflower Lyrics
Look for a while at the china cat sunflower,
Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun.
Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono,
Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind.
Crazy cat peekin through a lace bandanna,
Like a one-eyed...
Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun.
Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono,
Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind.
Crazy cat peekin through a lace bandanna,
Like a one-eyed...

I also heard the same story about how when Robert Hunter was looking at his cat while on an acid trip (not the cat, Hunter) and the lyrics just flowed like a shower of pearls. “Look for a while at the china cat, Sunflower!” Sunflower was the hippie chick he was tripping with. The cat was a Siamese. Okay. Now I’m just making stuff up. I absolutely adore this nonsensical masterpiece!

I read somewhere that Hunter wrote these lyrics while observing his pet cat during a lysergic trip.
