about

This song is dedicated to the Late/Great Louie the Pug, our "Lunatic Angelhead" who laid around all day in bed, "Watching faces on the wall,
Hearing voices in the hall."

lyrics

Lunatic Angelhead


Lunatic Angelhead

Lays around all day in bed

Watching faces on the wall

Hearing voices in the hall

Lunatic Angelhead


And when the dogs bark he hears poetry

And when the taxis honk its modern jazz

He knows nothing is as it appears

Nothing is as it appears (x3)


Lunatic Angelhead

Playing chess with his invisible friend

They speak Russian and French

Eat turnips for lunch

Lunatic Angelhead


Some say that he’s a fool, some think he’s wise

Cause when the tulips bloom he starts to cry

Cause everything is beautiful

And every snowflake is a jewel

Everything is holy holy

Everything is holy holy

Lunatic angelhead, lunatic angelhead
