Terrapin Lyrics

Syd Barrett

I really love you and I mean you
the star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...
I wouldn't see you and I love to
I fly above you, yes I do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...
Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
the fins aluminous fangs all 'round
the clam is dark below the boulders hiding all
the sunlight's good for us
'Cause we're the fishes and all we do
the move about is all we do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...
Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
the fins aluminous fangs all 'round
the clam is dark below the boulders hiding all
the sunlight's good for us
'Cause we're the fishes and all we do
the move about is all we do
well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...
I really love you and I mean you
the star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you
