slip across the wind unto the poet's eartell him I'm callingmy spirit's calling
and if he seems to wonder why what you've cometell him, this I've saidto lighten his own head
the lights are there within my eyes growing the skytell him to hurrythe vision's worthy
and if he seems at all as his own selftell him, this I've said:the sun and moon have wed
bid him move along the path beneath the seatell him it's morningas also evening
and if he seems at all as out of himselftell him, this I've saidas a gift unto his head
[moog solo]
now be upon your way as wings upon the windand do not tarrynot even for Mary
he sweeps the steps of crescent hill now every dayand needs an answera loving answer
and always at her side and hanging off your clothesthe sister's staringcompletely purringI've seen love in her eyes
so be upon your way as wings upon the windand do not tarryoh please do hurryadd this gift unto her sight
slip across the wind unto the poet's eartell him I'm callingmy spirit's callingmy spirit's callingmy spirit's calling, la la la la

I first met Jack on a cold dark dayI held him close with my handswe had a little fun and watched the sun come upbut my mama she would never understand
Jack wore black and a paper sackhe came from the wrong side of townbut I loved him neat and he tasted sweetbut it was hard for me to keep him down
oh why can't I ever break awayseems the things I love most are the things I hateand people will talk but they'll still be upsetand I'm the one that's changed
Jim was a good old Kentucky sonI met when I left Tennesseeain't nothing at all like a brown-eyed boyto wash away your misery
I started to feel I was far from homeand I needed to talk with a friendwhen I woke up it was an empty cupand a voice that was ringing in my head

the girl in a topless bathing suit came down upon the beachthe surfers gather round her on the sandthey left so many surfboards abandoned on the seayou could have walked the ocean to Japan
well, left the sea for the girl without a topmore to see on the girl without a topcould she be a former nudist who was trying to taper offwhat's the story on the girl without a top?

#SpaceDustLyric #revised #draft
rootless cosmopolitan in search of a root,couldn't even grab for that low hanging fruit. been on this road a long long time, wearing out my shoes. pilgrims thugs & heretics & all bound to lose. twilight, tribal gatherings & riverside camps, hog calls & chicken fights & smashing of amps.rootless cosmopolitan - lookin' for a root, $26 was concealed in his boot. flashbacks & tracking shots & dreams of stashed loot - we have you surrounded. come out or we shoot. throw down your weapons come out slow & sweet, we're awaiting god's verdict in the cold & dirty street

back in the city we was living just like bums, didn't pay no attention to those boys w\ their banners & drums. i went to some meetings but just for kicks, we were getting high, didn't care about politics. i shoulda left town when the chance occurred, i would've dressed in black & preached the revolutionary word. all thru that summer we'd heard the reports, i filtered it out w\ the stock market shit & the sports. the cracks in the image & the years are starting to tell, i'm gonna tell the truth til there's no truth left to tell. back in the city we was living just like bums, couldn't seem to get healthy, maybe when the summer comes.

song : threnody for kf
from a dog on hollywood blvd to the garbage at the rainbow's end a teenage cockroach, a hungry ghost, he ain't nobody's friend a man of 1000 faces, a star that burned like hellsometimes bad people do good stuff, the reverse is true as well

song : "study of the dream commune" (2013) :
study of the dream commune. 30 years still the same. i blame the parents. i think the parents are to blame. study of the dream commune. seen from the outside. the heat's closing in & there's no place to hide. study of the dream commune. dr#ugs & the occult. same actions repeated, expecting different result. whose dream is it anyway. how long can it last. we are the future. you are the past. get back to the garden. the jets overhead. how can you kill me. i'm already dead.
