Lyrics:

The fourth track on The Piper At The Gates of Dawn, “Flaming” continues Syd Barrett’s drug-induced lyricism featuring prominent imagery of the sky and clouds – almost if someone is watching from them.

Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown
Yippee! You can't see me
But I can you

Lazing in the foggy dew (Ooh, hoo)
Sitting on a unicorn
No fair, you can't hear me
But I can you

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

Streaming through the starlit sky
Traveling by telephone
Hey, ho, here we go
Ever so high


Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown
Yippee! You can't see me
But I can you
