Awesome lyrics and music. A great bedtime story song, very psychedelic and dreamy.

If anyone else hasn't heard the original recording with the Cautionary Tales lyrics, it's pretty outstanding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp4DjDxpdTk

I absolutely love the moment when Syd takes over the last verse from Rick. Everything jumps up a notch in urgency and fever.

Listening to the debut album "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" released in August 1967. This is an incredible piece of work by the genius of Syd Barrett & Albert Hoffman. Song written by Syd and vocals by Syd & Wright.

The lyrics to this song are incredible! I never realized just HOW good because I'd never had occasion to read them off the page, and a lot of the singing gets lost in the beautiful haze of the music. Easily worthy of Dylan's John Wesley Harding (from the same year, incidentally), which I consider to be one of the masterpieces of rock/folk lyric writing in general. "You only have to read the lines of scribbly black and everything shines."

"Why'd you have to leave me there hanging in my infant air, waiting?" Syd is a genius. He IS.
