lyrics

I have those days
where I’d like to evaporate
into a brass landscape,
So Krush & Kondo get the play
--I got Ki-Oku on my brain--
But it’s those “Blade Runner Blues”
in the soundtrack to my existence;
I play the part of an artist starved of heart and paid a pittance.
Now ain’t that the pits!
Time is currency, so is life--
And sometimes I wonder if
I’ve been spending mine right.
I see these other people all concerned with other people
while I paint a sad little tree, sitting alone at my easel.
Now I dunno if that’s a good thing or a bad thing--it just is.
What a thought: what if that was how the hominid yarn were thread--
But it isn’t.
Conditions are inclement, inside and out.
Like the massive eye of a gaseous giant, winds whine and howl,
Corrosive acid pelts down, and erosion changes terrain.
This world shaped by violence don’t deny its victims pain.
But I harbor ardent hope we’ll see an end to these tempests,
And against the loss and scars that we’ll depart with more than we went in with.
That we’ll elevate with gentle grace, and sail into the sky,
Where we will walk among the stars
Beyond Jupiter’s Eye.
