Morning Cloak
In her morning cloak she comes
to see me in my room
Take me to the moon,
Lady Juniper with glitter in her hair,
In her hair
Lady Juniper with glitter in her hair.
Sunfield
Follow the dragonfly out to the sunfield
sit by the stream and I'll tell you the story
about Millo and all of the animal people
who come out of the forest.
When I was a boy and I slept by the screen door
I woke up to find Millo Shanti and cohorts
standing around wearing hoods just like steeples
and their eyes were like keyholes
looking out through the cosmos
and I knew it was no joke
when they gave me the needle.
Floating
All at once I'm free again
all at once I'm me again
floating above the terrafirm
mystical electricity
pulsates in the core of me
I'm floating through the vortex.
Stage Fright
Woke up alone, afraid,
eyes are bleeding lemonade
face down on the carpet.
I can't connect myself
I am the ghost inside the well,
I'm doing it over.
I lean against the wall
I stumble down the corridor,
still tunneling visions.
I cannot reach the stage,
I'm floating through electric haze,
I lost my religion.
I take my medicine
and stand beneath the light
where souls are watching me
with blazing, ugly, penetrating eyes.
Next time they won't find me
I'm hiding in the library,
alone and sedated.
I feel them everywhere
in this chamber of unholy stares,
they're pulling me under.
I put my make-up on
and lay down in my room,
I hear the engines hum
as Juniper comes,
takes me to the moon.
(I'm floating through the vortex)
