I could have gone to

Cambridge with

I tried to raise a pound
F Dm A Dm
Just to see the university
Bb Dm A
And find the scenes she hung
around
F A Dm
Is your mind a menagerie
Perhaps
Bb
I mean it's hard to say
Dm F A Dm
A pterodactyl built its nest on me
Bb G Dm
I'm feeling strange but quite okay

Dm A Dm A Dm A Dm F Dm
Archimedes and his orchestra

Who loudly disapprove of life

Got mad when

I called them unmusical

And tried to land me with a wife
F
Out in San
A Dm
Francisco's
Wonderland
Bb Dm
The purple poet kneels to pray

But

I just hang around your city and

I don't have anything to say

Verse 4:
I wrote a song just before the dawn
Bb
And then
Dm
I lost it now it's gone

I spent all day playing

Monopoly
Bb Dm
It seemed to feel like getting on

Sometimes

Or
Jack the

Hippocrates
Bb Dm
They're out to get me in the end
F D C
I think they'll find me by the ruins' trees
Bb Dm
Without a candle or a friend
D F Dm C
Then they'll bring me to the wizard's cave
Bb Dm
And softly mold me into clay

And lock me in with no telephone
Bb Dm
And laugh and throw the keys away

And so to every land

I would like to give my thanks for lending me your room

I stayed one night but

I had to go

I think
Dm
I'll maybe come back soon
A F
Of all the girls that
A
I have ever known
C Bb Dm
There wasn't one who didn't play
F A
They came and went just like the newspapers
Bb G
And left me here to find my way
Dm Bb G Dm
