'Octopus' by Syd Barrett  (from 'The Madcap Laughs')
------------------------------
trip to, heave and ho
up, down, to and fro
you have no Word

trip, trip to a dream dragon
hide your wings in the ghost tower
sails cackling at every blade we break

It was cracked by scattered needles
but the little minute gong coughs and clears its throat
madam you see before you stand
hey, ho, never be still
the old orignal favorite grand
grasshopper's green Herbarian band
and the tune They play is 'In Us Confide'

so we trip to, heave and ho
up down, to and fro
you have no Word

please leave us here
close our eyes to the octopus ride

isn't it good to be lost in the wood
isn't it bad it's so quiet there... in the wood

meant even less to me than i thought
with a honey plough of yellow prickly seeds
clover, honey-pots, and mystic shining feed

well the madcap laughed at the man on the border
hey-ho, huff the talbot
"Cheater!", he cried shouting "Kangaroo"
"It's true in their tree", they cry

please leave us here
close our eyes to the octopus ride

well the madcap laughed at the man on the border
hey-ho, huff the talbot
the winds did blow and the leaves did wag
but They'll never put me in their bag
the raging seas will always seep
so high you go, so low you creep
the wind it blows in tropical heat
the drones they throng on mossy seats
the squeaky door will always creak
two up, two down we'll never meet
so merrily trip, forgo my side

please leave us here
close our eyes to the octopus ride
