  81 Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
  82 My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
  83 My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
  84 To be wanderin'.
  85 I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
  86 Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
  87 I promise to go under it.

  98 Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun,
  99 It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
 100 And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
 101 And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
 102 To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
 103 I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
 104 Seein' that he's chasing.

 115 Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
 116 Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
 117 The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
 118 Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
 119 Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
 120 Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
 121 With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
 122 Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
