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 crackling at ev'ry plate we break

Struck by scattered needles
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
[ Syd Barrett Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]

Well, the madcap laughed at the man on the border
Hey ho, huff the Talbot
"Cheat", he cried shouting kangaroo
So through 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
And they'll never put me in their bag

The seas will reach and will always seep
So high you go, so low you creep
The winds it blows in tropical heat
The drones they throng on mossy seats

The squeaking door will always creep
Two up, two down, we'll never meet
So merrily trip for good my side

Please leave us here
Close our eyes to the octopus ride

Trip to heave and ho
Up down, to and fro
You have no word
