Earliest Roger Waters reference to the Wizard of Oz?

I just discovered these lyrics below in the song The Trial on The Wall by PF. I have rarely listened to that album - it's bleak and ugly-but someone quoted this chorus.I am infatuated with the Dark Side of the Rainbow mashup of DSM with the Wizard of Oz. We fans want to know how that resonance happened. Accidentally, no doubt. Part of the human cultural consciousness.Here is the earliest connection I am aware of that Roger Waters was thinking about and quoting from WoO, written around 1977. He repeats "over the rainbow" twice.Note also the connotation here of "over the rainbow" to "crazy / insane". The idea that Dorothy was having a mental breakdown / was crazy (like Syd Barrett and Pink and maybe Roger) is the theme that links all of this."Bassist Roger Waters conceived The Wall during Pink Floyd's 1977 In the Flesh tour, modelling the character of Pink after himself and Pink Floyd's former songwriter / founder Syd Barrett."So: Dorothy = Roger Waters = Pink = SydThe rainbow here literally goes "over" the wall!From: The Trial on The Wall Crazy Over the rainbow, I am crazy Bars in the window There must have been a door there in the wall When I came in Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy.
