I could settle down
Then take it slow,
Just do the right thing
And gain twenty pounds
Before next spring
When the senses dull
And I hear the rain will fall
For sure that would be something soulful
Get it straight,
Get it right today
Hesitate
Or just carry on slow with wonder
A little low on godspeed
I didn't know your wet dream made a sound
Like an old Corvette exploding turning you on
While burning a brown hole in everyone's lightness
Get back underground
When the water gets cold
The pushing around
Never saved your soul
Get back underground
When the fight gets old
So get it on and under
With a little help
And hope as your rope,
Jump for the high seat
And fall super gone
Into the whiteness
With your strength all gone
And your crucifix on wrong
They'll tear you down to nothing
Yell it!
Tell it straight,
Tell me not to fade
Or to break
Though it's heavy I might just wonder
Why did a nova burst here
And what does an elephant feel in the sun
With a red umbrella something is bringing him down
Asleep in the mudhole of everyone's conscience
It's coming around
Quiet and slow
It's coming around
All sweet and heavy
Like a world unfolding fast
Like a walk in the people's forest
Singing we're all on automatic
In a good way you turned it on
You turned it upside down
