Harry Nilsson? can't recall the songs name?
"I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, "Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it."
My very cool parents enthusiastically introduced it to my siblings and me very early in my life...although I am not sure they knew about the above quote...then again, we did listen to Little Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant every Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember...

This one may be too obvious (and thank you, sir, for ceding your your turn:
And like a fool I believed myself
and thought I was somebody else
But she could see what I was then
and left me on my own again
