It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I'm most obliged to you for making it clear
That I'm not here.
And I never knew the moon could be so big
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song.

I don't care if the sun don't shine
And I don't care if nothing is mine
And I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my loving in the winter.

And the sea isn't green
And I love the queen
And what exactly is a dream
And what exactly is a joke.

    I keep listening to this... I still can't decide what he's saying

    I think it might be moon could be so big and room could be so blue

    Also, I wrote this 87 times on the Syd forums.... Syd didn't "become" insane, and he didn't "lose his mind." He was always insane and he never had a "mind" as people like to call it. :)

    Piper is good proof of that. That album is completely nuts (read my posts on there lol) and his solo work is pretty much more of the same. He didnt change much from one album to the next.
