Lunatic's Lament

Kevin Ayers

Rock and roll !! Rrrrrrrrrr!!
I'm here lying on my bed
Just trying to hold on to my head 
But if you came in through the door 
You'll find me crawling on the floor 
Just looking for the things you threw away. 

You're the one illusion 
Causing my confusion
My dreams are yours to borrow 
I know I'll get them back tomorrow 
And I know your love has turned to wine
(Such a shame) 

Times are full of Pumpkin People
They appear and they fade away 
I'm just moonlight's lost disciple 
Trying to bring your love my way 

I presume your reason's rocking 
Do not rise above your pocket 
Will you be handsome, will you be rich
Or you're going to wind up in the ditch
Just looking for the things you threw away.
