Syd Barrett - Clowns and Jugglers (Octopus) lyrics

Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro' You have no word Trip, trip to a dream dragon Hide your wings in a ghost tower Sails cackling at every plate we break Was cracked by scattered needles The little minute gong Coughs and clears his throat Madam you see before you stand Hey ho, never be still The old original favorite grand Gra**hoppers green Herbarian band And the tune they play is "In Us Confide" So 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 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... The madcap laughed at the man on the border Hey ho, huff the Talbot The winds they blew and the leaves did wag 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 squeaking door will always squeak Two up, two down we'll never meet Please leave us here Close our eyes to the octopus ride! Sit up, touching hips To a madcap galloping chase "Cheat" he cried shouting kangaroo It's true in their tree they cried Please leave us here Close our eyes to the octopus ride! The madcap laughed at the man on the border Hey ho, huff the Talbot
