The Width Of A Circle
5
In the corner of the morning in the past
6
I would sit and blame the master first and last
7
All the roads were straight and narrow
8
And the prayers were small and yellow
9
And the rumour spread that I was aging fast
10
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping
11
By a tree
12
And I looked and frowned and the monster was me
13
Well, I said hello and I said hello
14
And I asked "Why not?" and I replied "I don't know"
15
So we asked a simple black bird, who was happy as can be
16
And he laughed insane and quipped "KAHLIL GIBRAN"
17
And I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through
18
For I realized that God's a young man too
19
Ho
20
Oh I said "So long" and I waved "Bye-bye"
21
And I smashed my soul and traded my mind
22
Got laid by a young bordello
23
Who was vaguely half asleep
24
For which my reputation swept back home in drag
25
And the moral of this magic spell
26
Negotiates my hide
27
When God did take my logic for a ride
28
(Riding along)
29
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooooh
30
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
31
He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips
32
And showed me the leather belt round his hips
33
My knees were shaking my cheeks aflame
34
He said "You'll never go down to the Gods again"
35
(Turn around, go back!)
36
He struck the ground a cavern appeared
37
And I smelt the burning pit of fear
38
We crashed a thousand yards below
39
I said "Do it again, do it again"
40
(Turn around, go back!)
41
His nebulous body swayed above
42
His tongue swollen with devil's love
43
The snake and I, a venom high
44
I said "Do it again, do it again"
45
(Turn around, go back!)
46
Breathe, breathe, breathe deeply
47
And I was seething, breathing deeply
48
Spitting sentry, horned and tailed
49
Waiting for you
50
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
51
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
