G                                     F
Look for a while at the China Cat sunflower,
G                                     F
Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun.
G                                F
Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono,
G                                                 F          G
Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream like wind.

Crazy cat peekin' through a lace bandanna,
G                                              F
Like a one-eyed Cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack.
G                                           F
A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle,
G                                 F
To a double-E waterfall over my back.

Comic book colors on a violin river Cryin' Leonardo,

Words from out a silk trombone.
G                                     F
I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls,
G                                     F
In the eagle-winged palace of the Queen Chinee.
