Text

DThe lunatic is on the G7grass

DRemembering games and Edaisy chains and laughs

A7Got to keep the loonies on the Dpath.

DThe lunatic is in the G7hall

DThe lunatics are in my G7hall

DThe paper holds their folded Efaces to the floor

And A7every day the paperboy brings Dmore

D/F#And if the dam breaks open Emany years too soon

GAnd if there is no room D/F#upon the hill

D/F#And if your head explodes with Edark forbodings too

I'll Gsee you on the dark side of the D/F#moon.

DThe lunatic is in my G7head

DYou raise the blade, Eyou make the change

A7You rearrange me till I'm Dsa ne

DYou lock the door and Ethrow away the key

There's A7someone in my head but it's not Dme

D/F#And if the cloud bursts Ethunder in your ear

GYou shout and no one seems to D/F#hear

D/F#And if the band you're in starts Eplaying different tunes

I'll Gsee you on the dark side of the D/F#moon.

I can't think of anything to say except...

I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!"
