SYD
Syd Barrett was never insane
He perceived the world
In his own special way
When he awoke to the waking world
He was in pain
He saw how people lived
Day to day
Streets of colour
Turned to grey
Conform or be cast out
Gormless children
Scream and shout
He opened the door
But lost the key
Perceived so much
But so blind to see
A mad cap lost
In his own memory
Excluding life for fantasy
Walked onto
The lizard skin floor
Pulsating flesh lead him to the shore
He needed to get away
Mad people watching him
From the way
Dull faces
Disarray
Dull faces
Here to stay
Seek the truth
From out the box
One day your body will rot
He opened the door
But lost the key
Perceived so much
But so blind to see
A mad cap lost
In his own memories
Excluding life for fantasy
He perceived the world
In his own special way
When he awoke to the waking world
He was in pain
He saw how people lived
Day to day
Streets of colour
Turned to grey
Conform or be cast out
Gormless children
Scream and shout
He opened the door
But lost the key
Perceived so much
But so blind to see
A mad cap lost
In his own memory
Excluding life for fantasy
Walked onto
The lizard skin floor
Pulsating flesh lead him to the shore
He needed to get away
Mad people watching him
From the way
Dull faces
Disarray
Dull faces
Here to stay
Seek the truth
From out the box
One day your body will rot
He opened the door
But lost the key
Perceived so much
But so blind to see
A mad cap lost
In his own memories
Excluding life for fantasy
