On being a heavenly light in an empty closet of hot stuff
So dark when crazy mamas can't see a thing, can't sense where it's at
Universe's Unmoved Mover going from here to eternity, upto a top stair
In a current architecture of cyberclouds above and below, I tumble to one
The one and only man on the planet who is me, myself and I just havin' fun
Ruby shoes fit so I'm wearin' them, holdin' a full house, throw snake eyes
A kind friend shows the way from ignorance to wisdom and the bones
Keep pushing on, living to end the days of here and now, everyone dies
Y'all know exactly what that means, no breathin' no eatin' no rockin' stones
For the sake of Christ, Buddah, Krishna, Ahura Mazda and Ra, light turns on
The rule of the law is unwritten and known by even the eldest amongst us all
The babies and the blithering, wonderful exquisite idiots' and morons' sons
Who will never know what the meaning of life was always all about, a fall
From out of nowhere we fell to dirt to be burned or just decomposed for a fall
Land sakes grace from a promise to be the One who made first Adam bawl
Nuclear implosion, middle of nowhere, noway, nohow yesterday or today
You and I just watch, think, wonder and settle for a middle path to the Way
I am not the one who will save y'all, not the one being in cosmic disguise
Beginning with time of the asexual, anaerobic breeder of Jack Daniels
Other haters before and after here and now were inbred ignoble spaniels
You must be wondering why you just found out about this strange cult prize
Cheating on eggs and jazz, edified by the steady rock of the Stones
No backbeat to miss, no melody to unsing, just about extinction of phones
Nothing but rocks rolling off the cliff when there's nowhere to left to go bro
Fame's satisfaction's gonna go one way or another, a 1 star hot stuff show.
