LUMBERJACK (Song inspired by Syd Barrett, Danny Elfman & Cardiacs)

Chainsaw’s hum
Morning sun
Timber falls
Begun the fun
Creep the shadows twist and turn
Sky melts into shades they burn
Metal trees in neon hue
Lumberjack's day breaking through
Gears grind harder in my head
Voices laughing filled with dread
Butterflies in tiger stripes
Swing the axe these dreams ignite
Sweat it out in strange refrain
The forest whispers weird arcane
Time wonk syncopate insane
Hack each trunk they groan in pain
Timber falls
Hear it crash
Dust to wind
Lumberjack smash
Echoed cries
In the air
Morning sun
We never care
Woodland waltz
Axes hum
Swing them right
Make it drum
Branches snap
Twist and bend
In this dark
Forest end
Chop chop the wood does cry
Whispering ghosts in the blue sky
Axes dance in a twisted spree
Leaves fall down while spirits flee
Timber spins in cosmic drift
Daylight fades and shadows lift
Timber falls
Hear it crash
Dust to wind
Lumberjack smash
Echoed cries
In the air
Morning sun
We never care
Forest dreams of silent screams
Echoes haunt in moonlit beams
Lumberjack in twilight's trance
Trees weep with a mournful dance
Darkness whispers tales of old
Mystery in the night unfolds

This song is inspired by the late Syd Barrett, the great Danny Elfman and one of my favorite bands, Cardiacs.
