Set One: The Madcap Laughs

Waving my arms in the air

Wouldn't you miss me at all?

Wined and dined, oh it seemed just like a Dream

She took a long cold look at me

Remember a day before today, a day when we were young...

I cried in my mind

If it's in you

Interstellar Overdrive

Emily tries, but misunderstands

Please...please...Baby Lemonade

Astronomy Domine

It is obvious

The star above you, crystal blue

Well oh baby, my hair's on end about you

The madcap laughed at the man on the water

I borrowed a page from the leopard's cage

The caterpillar hood won't cover the head

And you know you should be home in bed

Please lift a hand, I'm only a person

When I live I die

Isn't it good to be lost in the wood?

Love in the skyline, baby

Please leave us here, close our eyes...

Paintbox

The bigger they come, the larger Her hand

'Til no one understands: why for so long she'd been gone

Set Two: The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Why'd'ya have to leave me there
Hanging in my infant air
Waiting?

Watching buttercups cup the light
Sleeping on a dandelion.
Too much, I won't touch you... But then I might.

All movement is accomplished in six stages

And the seventh brings return

Set Three: Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Give a grasp of life today
When you're in the milky way
Oh, try to please! Knock on wood of the trees

Trip, trip to a dream dragon
Hide your wings in a ghost tower
Sails cackling at every plate we break

After five we went for tea
She seen a Dolly Rocker
She want a girl, she got her

On a distant shore,
miles from land
stands the ebony totem in ebony sand
