Your Own Imagination
03:31

There's a drone without form
As if an apparition
And a band on the bank of a river
Inside your eardrum
With the sound of a siren
It appeared as if a vision
Climbed high upon a cloud
Looked across a floating ocean
When the star blew apart
We got tangled in vibration
Went dancing with the sand fleas
On a shortwave radio station
Bit our tongues as we stumbled
On a vintage DeLorean
Wrote the score to a film
Directed by Picasso's son
Heard a bird that had returned
From a luxurious migration
Did not know how to fly
But then it struck inspiration
And the warble of the winged
Was a thing of fascination
Fully formed to the core
Born from imagination
Born from your own imagination!

Black Flame
03:08
|

|
There is a flame
That knows my name
And calls out with its
Twisted song
It brands
With its hot hand
A cut that is
Deep and long
(You'll scurry when you hear me come)
My tongue moves around
And buries itself in my throat
My jaw becomes a saw
And with a bow I bend a note
(A high pitch never sank so low)
Lay down to bath
in a pool of blue and grey
(Towards the deep I gravitate)
Stand up straight
Bend but don't break
(Feel the heat of a Black Flame)

Small Dog
02:47
|
|||
|
Down a side street
To its own beat
At the end of a long leash
There’s a small dog
Sunlight meets drizzle
A trash bag visible
Through the fog
A housecat and a robin
Have a staredown in the garden
‘Neath a poplar tree
A geezer in a doorway
Flicks a cigarette
With incredible accuracy
I find
that when I walk around the block
I pay no mind
to thoughts that eat me up inside
And rule my kind
There’s something ‘bout the concrete and the fog
And walking ‘round the block with a small dog
