"Dark Globe" as written by and Syd Barrett....
Oh where are you now
Pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?
When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
Please, please, lift a hand
I'm only a person whose armbands beat
On his hands, hang tall
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?
The poppy birds way
Swing twigs coffee brands around
Brandish her wand with a feathery tongue
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
Please, please, please lift the hand
I'm only a person with Eskimo chain
I tattooed my brain all the way
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?
Pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?
When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
Please, please, lift a hand
I'm only a person whose armbands beat
On his hands, hang tall
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?
The poppy birds way
Swing twigs coffee brands around
Brandish her wand with a feathery tongue
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
Please, please, please lift the hand
I'm only a person with Eskimo chain
I tattooed my brain all the way
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?

anyways the song lyrics...
i see eskimo chain as a type of pattern manifested in his minds eye. if you've taken lsd or are schizophrenic than you know about patterns. some patters noticed can be very distressing.
a chain = a pattern.
a tattoo = a picture that is permanent.
so its something he sees on his brain. i had this toy. it was monkey chain. a bunch of monkeys that came in a barrel and they linked together by their arms (maybe their tails and leg too i can't remember) they were all identical except in their facial expressions. they where more fun then a barrel full of monkeys. they had them in the 40s 50s and 60s made of metal mine were plastic from the late 70s. maybe he envisions a great tribe of eskimos linked together like my monkeys tattooed to his brain. the cool part of the lyric is that he did it to him self. so he had to see himself tattooing his brain. its a great lyric to express his distressful thoughts.
what do i know i'm just a schizophrenic, musician, ex-acid head, who took lsd thousands of times while listening to syd barret most likely. make up your own mind thats what music is for. if it speaks to you than good you can relate. if someone tells you different they are trying to cheat you.
Esikmos live in the cold, Eskimo chain is a reference to him trying to slow himself down with drugs so he can be with someone living in this monotonous world of grey. When you're the only sane person in every thousand mutants, it's easy to feel isolated.
