Here’s your poem restructured into a song format, complete with a chorus that captures the whimsical and surreal style of Syd Barrett:
---
**"Spaceship Ascending"**
*Verse 1*
In the dark, watching TV with my eyes closed,
My spaceship is ascending beyond the atmosphere.
Into the realm of transcendent awareness,
I can see the tunnel, the vortex of forgotten dreams.
I can see the rainbow colors,
Smoking weed makes the visions more powerful.
Try not to open your eyes,
Or you’ll break the flow of visual perception.
*Chorus*
Float with me through colors bright,
Into the daydream, into the night.
Lost in patterns, drifting high,
In the spiral of a cosmic sigh.
*Verse 2*
Symmetric patterns of squares and triangles engulf me in a black cloud,
Multicolored flowers whizzing by at the speed of light,
Turning into neon signs with words on them:
Change, transform, transformation, morphing, metamorphosis,
Rebel, rebellion.
Then without warning, I see a white light with a black dot in the center,
The black dot moves closer to me,
I can hear the flies, the reel changes.
*Chorus*
Float with me through colors bright,
Into the daydream, into the night.
Lost in patterns, drifting high,
In the spiral of a cosmic sigh.
*Verse 3*
I'm falling through the air, I can see an ocean, then land appears,
Green trees by the road, with cars on the road.
Below me, the cars twist and turn and merge into a hot air balloon,
Which rises high into the sky.
Cartoons on the TV melting away as I look,
Dissolving into ripples that trickle into rainbow bubbles.
Then without warning, I see a white light with a black dot in the center,
The black dot moves closer to me,
I can hear the flies, the reel changes.
*Chorus*
Float with me through colors bright,
Into the daydream, into the night.
Lost in patterns, drifting high,
In the spiral of a cosmic sigh.
*Verse 4*
I can see faces laughing at me, smiling laughing faces,
Frankenstein, Herman Munster, Freddy Krueger, Jigsaw man.
Nightmare images and terrifying visions
Turn into forms of heroes,
Superman, Captain America, Iron Man,
Running, jumping, flying through the air.
As a pink laser fires from a plasma rifle,
Turning into confetti and balloons.
Stars appear as clowns dance around,
Clowns and jugglers skipping around town,
Candy swirls and blue cotton pearls to see that world.
*Chorus*
Float with me through colors bright,
Into the daydream, into the night.
Lost in patterns, drifting high,
In the spiral of a cosmic sigh.
*Verse 5*
Then without warning, I see a white light with a black dot in the center,
The black dot moves closer to me, I can hear the flies.
They make me jump, I open my eyes,
And see aliens standing around, looking at me.
They fade away into a distorted view,
I close my eyes again,
I can see a crop circle with the signs of the zodiac.
*Chorus*
Float with me through colors bright,
Into the daydream, into the night.
Lost in patterns, drifting high,
In the spiral of a cosmic sigh.
*Verse 6*
I open my eyes and see rainbow colors all around me,
A mountain comes from the TV with an eye underneath it.
The eye shines like the sun with rainbow rays coming from it,
The mountain of eyes turns into a tree, dark and mysterious,
With symmetric patterns of squares and triangles coming from the branches.
Smoking weed makes me feel dizzy,
The visions spin round in a circle,
Try not to open your eyes, you’ll break the flow.
My spaceship slowly comes back into the atmosphere,
I’m still flying, I’m not back on the ground yet.
*Chorus*
Float with me through colors bright,
Into the daydream, into the night.
Lost in patterns, drifting high,
In the spiral of a cosmic sigh.

In the dark watching tv with my eyes closed
My Spaceship is ascending beyond the atmosphere
Into the realm of transcendent awareness
I can see the tunnel
the vortex of forgotten dreams
I can see the rainbow colours
Smoking weed makes the visions more powerful
Try not to open your eyes
or you’ll brake the flow of the visual perception
Symmetric patterns of squares and triangles in gulf me in a black cloud
Multicoloured Flowers whizzing by at the speed of light
Turning into neon signs with words on them
Change, transform, transformation morphing, Metamorphosis Rebel, rebellion
Than without warning I see a white light with a black dot in the center
The Black dot moves closer to me
I can hear the flies
The reel changes
I'm Falling though the air
I can see an ocean than land appears
green trees by the road with cars on the road
below me the cars twist and turn and merge into an hot air balloon
which raises high into the sky
Cartoons on the tv melting away as I look
Dissolving into ripples that trickles into rainbow bubbles
Than without warning I see a white light with a black dot in the center
The Black dot moves closer to me
I can hear the flies
The reel changes
I can see faces laughing at me
Smiling laughing faces
Frankenstein, herman munster, freddy Krueger, jigsaw man
nightmare images and terrifying visions
Turn into forms of heroes
superman captain america iron man
Runing, jumping flying thought the air
As a pink laser fires from a plasma rifle
Turning into confetti and balloons
Stars appear has clowns dance around
clowns and jugglers skipping around town
clowns and jugglers jumping up and down
candy swirls and blue cotton pearls to see that world
Than without warning I see a white light with a black dot in the center
The Black dot moves closer to me
I can hear the flies
they make me jump
I open my eyes and see aliens standing around looking at me
they fade away into a distorted view
I close my eyes again
I can see a crop circle with the signs of the zodiac
I open my eyes and see rainbow colours on everything all round me
A mountain comes from the TV with an eye underneath it
the eye shines like the sun with rainbow rays coming from it
The mountain of eyes turns into a tree dark and mysterious
With Symmetric patterns of squares and triangles coming from the branches of the tree with rainbow colours they fly around me
Smoking weed makes me feel dizzy
the visions spin round in a circle
Try not to open your eyes you’ll brake the flow
My Spaceship slowly comes back into the atmosphere

I’m not back on the ground yet
My Spaceship is ascending beyond the atmosphere

Smoking weed makes the visions more powerful
