Serenade the dawn with your tongue.
Give it all you've got, give it all you've got.
Go all the way down to those warbling notes.
Ride back up to the heights.
Use the length of your throat,
and sing like you're falling.
Lets row that boat
deep into the morning,
Starling.
Folding my wings around your tenderness;
licking your talk while you've been sucking my sentences;
flicking your locks while you've been chuckling, my little Empress.
Salute the sunset with yourself held high.
Reach through the sky and embrace the night.
Feel the stars, they're a-tingling.
Spectrum swim up my spine
right through my mind & like shoots from the core,
we unfurl & explore.
Starling, have we met before?
Starling...
Folding my wings around your tenderness;
licking your talk while you've been sucking my sentences;
flicking your locks while you've been chuckling, my little Empress.
Spreading your wings around my gentleness;
licking your talk while you've been sucking my sentences;
and picking your locks while we've been loving it endlessly.

Do you think I'm out of my mind?
Coming from inside the Earth Soul Live Wire
meshed up brother of the same higher vi-
brational milky one soul mother,
A strange light glowing in her eyes,
Speaking unspoken verbal fire-flies...
Twisting turning around the soul brother,
precious silver love creature universal,
Lemurian Atlantis boom rehearsal?
Do you think I'm out of my mind?
Oh Goddess, to make the music, the food,
the deliciousensationalinguisticomminicational mood,
Moving through space into my black hole,
My soul, it melt into another dimension.
Wet sliding bubble nappy move me funny,
giggle boy tickle-licks the secret girl.
We grin as the moon shines audible streams.
Happy wanderers wandering dreams of passion life juice,
the fuel.
Fuel be passion life juice, the fool. . .
Do you think I'm out of my mind?

Your soul bubbles popped into my mind,
holographic projection from another side,
the lion & the devils battle treaty signed,
so that in the mother city we may just abide.
rise 'n shine you the kids of my kind,
time to fill the hole so wide,
you dont see it now because we been blind,
It's the time for change, high tide..
It's the time for change, conscious expand;
The lion was tamed and told he was bad,
that his seed had simply just gone bland,
and if he did the divine then he was all too mad,
original as a grain of sand,
conned and lied to, it's so damn sad,
but now it's time to listen to the band,
with these songs of the life that we could've had..
We're still living the good life
still living the life baby,
We're still living the good life
still living it up..
Cape Town summer city
slippy jizm street long
pills 'n thrills social ills
loud hip trance hop boogie
don't get me down deep inside the
cavernous cannabis carnivore carnival whore
spiral up your bloodlines - eternity
majaculational, experiential..
torrential down-pourings of the One Soul Mother
we living it digging it non-stop spilling it
land of the aia, burning da fire
Babylon gone mad we tripping bad vision
your blood red eyes looking back at me,
could it be could it be could it be could it be..
We're still living the good life
still living the life baby,
We're still living the good life
still living it up..

Music come & save me,
won’t you please,
just pick me up & take me,
up off my knees,
oh won’t you please now..
Music come & save me,
won’t you please,
just pick me up & take me,
Overseas,
won’t you please now..
Music come & save me,
I’m begging on my knees,
just pick me up & take me,
Overseas,
won’t you please now..
Music came & saved me,
wouldn’t you believe,
it just picked me up & took me,
Overseas..

Won't you watch out
watch out in the sky for those portal petals
watch out in sky babe, don't you cry
we'll be as one tonight. . .
Reasons keep popping out of the sky
more confused than clarity
I swallowed a cockroach
and it's hatched in my belly.
How long must I ride?
Around and around and around...
cos inside my dreaming I found
adventures of life
missions of love,
more real than reality
I feel no downers because I see
through this immergency
of dramatic political artistry..
No empty smiles, from me
I broke a cycle
I was found hating an old mirror, smash!
I'm too busy yawning
thinking how boring
found patience on a busy morning
I found a new day dawning
I found a reason to live
I found myself on the road again.
with freedom in abundance
and a burst of emotion by my side,
dreaming on nice white sheets...
Where is the portal?
Where could it be..
Won't you watch out
watch out in the sky for those portal petals
watch out in sky babe, don't you cry
we'll be as one tonight. . .
we'll be as one tonight
we'll be as the sun tonight
we'll be as one tonight
we'll be a song sung tonight..
Where did I go wrong?
Where did I take a wrong turn now baby tell me please,
before I burn..

Crows Cry
04:44
|
|||
|
I'm a statue frozen still.
Crows in the wind, blood on the snow.
No-one to be found, an empty window.
Zoom in on ant's trail, busy moving.
Making a living grooving to their rhythm.
My sword is clean but I can't stab anymore;
my killing muscles weak from rust.
I must just try to bust a move but who can I trust?
Cos I still hear the crows cry. . .
The wind in the trees...
My knees shiver.
A ripple on this frozen lake. . .
Trust no-one.
But do the opposite.
Stop being a source of light, just try it.
My best friend became a digital scar.
I know you want to cry but I'm earning my guitar.
I'm burning my fire, my funeral pyre, the harder I try.
But I'm blooming they said. How god damn amusing.
Cos I still hear the crows cry. . .
The wind in the trees...
My knees shiver.
A ripple on this frozen lake. . .
These pins holding me in this butterfly cemetery
have my logo stamped into their wings,
Cos whatever I choose, my blood trickles loose, my neck in the noose.
And all I ever chose to do was trust in you.
But I still hear the crows cry. . .
The wind in the trees...
My knees shiver.
A ripple on this frozen lake. . .

Time has lost all meaning and I'm dripping with the feelings I've decided to show.
Steady you are burning inside me, real. Yearning to find you naked before me, for real.
The other night I got quite a fright when you dropped out of sight,
I let myself out without making a sound, & went underground.
Full moon, bloodhound, fool swoon...
I overstand miss understood.
Like a subtle dream..
No matter what you do I want you to know,
before you slip into the past that nothing lasts,
but these feelings for you overflow.
You're burnt into my world,
I'm in the love fool's bow.
Cupid's arrow blew me apart,
and here I stand at the edge of time with you in my mind feeling,
feeling; feeling divine...
No matter what you do I want you to know,
before you slip into the past that nothing lasts
No matter what you do I want you to know,
before you slip into the path that nothing lasts
No matter what you do I want you to know,
before you drip into my path that nothing lasts
but these feelings for you overflow.

Oh, what a jol,
but it's your call. . .
You got to stand tall if you want to break your fall. . .
Like the Silver Surfer in a snowstorm.
We gather all the surgeons to bring about an emergence
of clarity in destiny, the right to be free, see?
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!!
Pick up the phone off the cabin wall
I listen to you moan that you have it all.
You cruise with a tight crew all night bru
and you bruised your sight through the fight too
Tattooed angels rise above sad devils lost in love:
So fly, but whats that sound?
As I twist through the sky,
I crawl through the ground.
Insist that I'm high
as I fall to where I'm bound.
I'm just a filthy human
and I keep getting shown,
creeping out of the dirt-bin
and straight to the show.
But another blind robbery
and another free ride
through the exams copying
another clone's pride. . .
'cos knowledge is power and I'm in the bin,
born in sin to a culture-less king.
White punks drinking gin as I hear my doorbell ring:
So fly, but whats that sound?
As I twist through the sky,
I crawl through the ground.
Insist that I'm high
as I fall to where I'm bound.

Coming Up For Air
04:27
|
|||
|
I feel something coming on,
like a hot wind from Avalon.
She greets me with a smile
and we walk the green mile.
Destined to be true, said she was testing me blue..
Destined to be in love with you.
Like the underwater wish-wash, tumbled up and down,
I look around in and out, for my up or down.
Sailed across the seas, just to smash my teeth
on a jagged reef oh no, not again please..
It's so damn dark down here, I've had enough.
Time's running out, I'm coming up..
I'm coming up for air, do you hear me up there?
I'm coming up for air, I said do you hear me up there?

Open your eyes to the illusion love
come and see what you mean to me
maybe it's not what you've been dreaming of
but it's more than what it seems
Your trippy-ass trapeze act tiger love
your golden orange eyes staring back at me
psychedelic love from constellations above
intertwining souls with love we heal
I don't know what the hell to do
guess I'll just try to push on through
don't ever do what people tell you to
do what your heart says, you know it's true
A dangerous twirl with the ballroom earl
you luminescent pearl of this I am sure
hanging with you angel girl
is more sacred to me than anything in this world
The death of the curse, the eyes of the nurse
my spiritual burst with the universe
for what it's worth, consider rebirth
a son of the dirt, a daughter of the Earth
I don't know what the hell to do
guess I'll just try to push on through
don't ever do what people tell you to
do what your heart says, you know it's true

Looking around,
my babe nowhere found.
Finding myself at odds,
Stare me to the gods,
Vision centrepoint third eye,
Can't see but I can see you,
through my mind you flew,
Your look, cast in iron,
Your moon, cool felion,
My fiery solar beam drops a clouded tear,
Love pure my mirror, are you near?
Because you're hiding
Behind the moon
Looking around,
my babe nowhere found.
Finding myself at odds,
Stare me to the gods,
Vision centrepoint third eye,
Can't feel but I can feel you,
through my soul you blew,
Your eyes, lunar storm,
Your moon, cool form,
My fiery solar beam drops a clouded fear,
Love pure my mirror, are you near?
Because you're hiding
Behind the moon

Babylon Dust

This is warning one, to these fallen guys sex is heaven mate, my zen depends on 12!
Damn me what a calamity
It's all deranged such insanity
Red red eyes make me drink more wine
A passport just to pass more time
And while we thinking we're drinking
And while we drinking we're thinking
What the hell is this shit all about
Oh my God get me the hell out
It's such a mission to find a good incentive
to find another way to keep yourself inventive
No matter what the law says, you know I got my causes
I've been around the course & I've been a couple corpses
Because I drank your poison
the boys in the hood made noise
and I think its good cos now I'm robin hood
robbing the hood blind for that which I must. . .
babylon dust.
As for me I'm fine these days, divine in fact
drink wine sometimes and smoke that
green bag of mooti, I might be, kinda mighty. . .
if some fellers want to fight me. . .
I'll bust out the peace pipe and shine bright all night.
It's quite a sight I have to say, amused to play all day.
But not always, like last May I had to pay
More than money to keep things funny
donated a piece of my soul for a bowl of cold gold
umquomboti, feeling kinda naughty called a big dude shorty
So I drank your poison
the boys in the hood made noise
and I think its good cos now I'm robin hood
robbing the hood blind for that which I must. . .
babylon dust.
