Liberty Captain

It was a nondescript day, I spent the morning with friends In a mushroom field, yeah, being led astray To take me through a doorway I picked a large bouquet It was my remedy but I'd opened myself to jeopardy And so I soon felt dismayed I realized I'd mixed them up with some toadstools and some deadly nightshade It made me feel afraid, I called the fire brigade And when they rescued me I was naked and raving up in a tree And so it haunted me, you know I thought about it constantly Yeah, when in therapy I took the dog with me, just for the company We knew each other's needs Well, it must have been her pedigree And as we walked in the rain I caught a glimpse of a kid watching With his face pushed right up against the window pane And like some kind of birdbrain I tripped headfirst into a storm drain He laughed at the hilarity and I thought to myself ain't that just like me He's come along, he's taken all his clothes off He's smeared himself in marmalade and he's climbed up a tree He's, he's, he's, he's lost it Come down son, come down, before you hurt yourself This ain't gonna end well I can hear the fire brigade, they're coming, here they come It's alright lads, it's alright now These memories of the intensity have taught me how to guarantee When the summer's over let's go over to those fields again
