My Mad Hatter

© 2013 Mark Cote

Siamese cat with a wicked hat
riding a black dog
through sunny dark nights
sweet hooka filled fog

downwardly up don't know where it's at
in this mystical tea
a laughing green owl with eyes to my soul
is looking at me

and I wish, wish you were here
my, my mad hatter
yes I wish, wish you were here
my, my mad hatter

Changing the channel changing the lane
it all feels so strange
dawning from night a little bird sings
we all end up the same

and I wish, wish you were here
my, my mad hatter
yes I wish, wish you were here
my, my mad hatter

(chorus)  as swiftly as they go
                  as swiftly as they come
                  when it's beginning
                  it's coming undone
                  sometimes life is not what it seems
                  sleeping in the day
                  living in a dream
                  looking through the riddle
                  magic in the middle
                  and it's all about you
                  my, my mad hatter

(instrumental)

chocolate river and sweet salty air
I taste and I see
growing much younger but feeling so old
floating downstream

and I wish, wish you were here
my, my mad hatter
yes I wish, wish you were here
my, my mad hatter

(chorus)
