Octopus (2010 Mix) - Syd Barrett

Trip to heave and ho

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

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

Grasshoppers 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

Well the madcap laughed

at the man on the border

Hey ho huff the Talbot

Cheat he cried shouting kangaroo

It's true in their tree they cried

Please leave us here

Close our eyes to the octopus ride

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

The winds they blew and

the leaves did wag

They'll never put me in their bag

The seas will reach and 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

So merrily trip forgo my side

Please leave us here

Close our eyes to the octopus ride
