The sounds of the Syd
Come pounding through my skull
To speak to my brain
Drive me forward through the madness
Providing inspiration for my eyes
Satisfaction for my soul

The gnome and the scarecrow
Stole my bike last night
So whatever shall I do Lucifer Sam
To get myself out of reach
Of this effervescing elephant?

My eyes close at night to
Take me to a world where
Bennett and Barrett collide
To discuss the finer points
Of being alive

This feeling of hope that
One day we will bring an end to
Facism, racism, classism, hatred and war
Replace it with peace, understanding, respect, love

Syd, it’s time we kick this machine
Into interstellar overdrive
And set the controls for the center of the sun
Have you the grit and determination to follow suit?

I feel the music drive me
Into space
Taking me further out than
I had planned to go

The buoy marking the drop off
Is long behind me
I can feel the warmth upon my face
And cannot open my eyes
For the brightness blinds me
But I must go on
