lyrics

I'm so high on my surroundings
My heart is pounding out of my chest
Through the black of the jungle
Into a monkey-eating eagles nest
And now I'm finally free
From lusting after your flower
From the monkey within me
That was climbing up your tower of a tree

I live where the tall trees stand
Where law is obsolete
They seem to understand
Why I roll around in the invasive weed
Creeping Charlie kisses me back
With his bilaterally symmetrical lavender-lips
Arms me with strength for future-attacks
Of white men arriving in ships

Eyes that haven't seen
Minds that cannot dream
Abusing time and energy
As sex-toys for their scheme
Land that stands unseen
Awake at night in dream
Alive by electricity
Murderous matter machine

And I don't think I'll ever know what it means
So I keep watching the rock
Waiting for it to metamorphose into painted pony beans
As mother earth circles around for the sun, like a clock
Waking her children to misdeeds of sheep
Following cocks through the bleeding dynamics of court
Now more than most of her children weep
Punishment misrepresented as reward

And we welcomed it with open arms
Until they were cut off
Then came the sound of civil-defense alarms
Followed by chronic cough
That's why I'm out there with the fox and the hare
Keeping my distance from people and cars
Breathing in her thin crispy air
Looking up at the stars

Eyes that haven't seen
Minds that cannot dream
Abusing time and energy
As sex-toys for their scheme
Land that stands unseen
Awake at night in dream
Alive by electricity
Metamagical matter machine
