Not My First Rodeo
Click to viewStratosphere came down across the oceans
lightnings first strike a firefly zooming inside the pupils
a stingray shooting into an empty void brazen and unafraid leaping towards that next dimension
you've been here before you'll be here again
from Mongolia to Mozambique from Hawaii to Wyoming
fast as the fox as explosive as trinitrotoluene
You may think you know what you know
you may think you may think
you know nothing but yet you also know everything
born before you die dead before your born
It was a New Year's Eve when I remembered that I knew the paradox fell upon on itself
the circle that we've all been living in for so many centuries and yet barely a millisecond
riding on that great white cloud launched a thousand missiles into my own heart
I've done the Deed that is to be done and I'd do it all again
Sometimes it seems like it's all just gibberish but in truth it's all languages
The tower of Babel but it never crumbled
we have seen god and we have seen the devil we have seen allah and we have seen yahweh
We have dined with princes and princesses
up-and-down the Ivory Coast from Madagascar to sri Lanka to Bombay
the Big Dipper to the Nexus nebula
around and around where we stopped something knows
the trip started as one we became two we became one we became all
next time you think you can tell me I don't know
you're right
I know too much
