In my sleep I hover alone The rivers sing and have a sepia tone Rolling in the casual mystique My sense of emptiness is fathoms deep And I want you with me Yeah I want you with me Cool, cool water around A world of blue with no walls or ground It feels good just breathing in Dancing to the pulse of everything Love is out of sight And yet, somehow, I feel so good tonight In my river of light Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh My river of light, yeah! Oh, my river of light Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh My river of light Sections of reflections of time No, they don’t worry me at all ‘cause I’m Swimming, dancing, swimming again I feel the feathers and the letters blend A lot is seen and little is said The blue, the green and the red My love is out of sight And yet, somehow, I feel so good tonight In my river of light Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh My river of light, yeah! Oh, my river of light Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh My river of light

Baby, when you asked me if I could help you hallucinate again I didn’t realize where this was going to end I couldn’t quite assess the paleness of your day But the strength in your caress made me do it anyway So I gathered my magic powders in a golden horseshoe With a dozen grounded flowers, and made a rainbow for us two I think our senses were aware that they were no longer king I guess they never really care; they let us do our own thing Losing sight of what you think you know Erhai Lake Archipelago Cormorants in bowties, like bullets of snow On Erhai Lake Archipelago Sacred inflections and a mystical glow On Erhai Lake Archipelago Still, still water where spirits flow Erhai Lake Archipelago Island to island to island to island To island to island to island to island To island to island to island to island To island… ‘til we land Erhai Lake is misty and baby if that makes you sad Don’t worry, I’m an expert at feeling sort of glad Day in, day out, day in, day out, the lake casts our reflection Makes me dread the fateful day when I’ll fall out of your affection Oh, then it started to snow And I could feel it on my soul Oh, yeah it started to snow It was then I realized that I loved you so Losing sight of what you think you know Erhai Lake Archipelago Cormorants in bowties, like bullets of snow On Erhai Lake Archipelago Sacred inflections and a mystical glow On Erhai Lake Archipelago Still, still water where spirits flow Erhai Lake Archipelago

Like spinning plates they screech and skate And stain the dress of Al the Great With tears and blood and the finest wine in the Universe No one really calls for help For help is none in the eyes of the helped But fellatio to power that words can’t address Oh explain to me: was it for nigh? Was I a pawn and if so why? Sebastokratorissa, you must be high The gazes cross like liquid swords That add up above ever more Forming hysterical clouds of the deepest of purples Thrones are burned and thrones are made They cut your hair with a rusty blade And now the only way you can look is behind you Oh explain to me this ceaseless prying Was I to act when Nagy was dying? Sebastokratorissa, why are you crying? It’s raining gender on San Fran The priest eats molly from a tin can And no one but their hairdresser knows that they are trippin’ The black and silver blend like milk With honey in those eyes of silk that don’t want to talk about it No they don’t want to talk about it Oh explain to me what do I see? Was I just murdered by decree? Sebastokratorissa, your hand is on my knee The cycles grow in rings of fire Circulating through the empire That will ebb and fall like every star before it The flatness of the mountain tops The dust and bugs that once were crops Are seeping through the kitchen – it’s disgusting Oh explain to me: will I grow old? Was I just swimming in liquid gold? Sebastokratorissa, are you cold? Bombs, cries and bicycle bells Down in the street their echo dwells But thank him deafness is an accessible virtue The car show in the coliseum The eyes that buy, the kids that see ‘em One day will wield sonatas and masses like rifles Oh explain to me: how can it snow? Was I above and life below? Sebastokratorrisa, I love you so With or without an elephant gun The right words will fool anyone And even rightness may well fool itself in the process All kinds of pasts rise in the air Like flaming locks of auburn hair Beneath them on what’s left of the dock of the bay Oh explain to me, I need to know Was I an actor in their show? Sebastokratorissa, I should go And so I went without my guns Kept warm by three identical suns The same in a relative way, at each new footstep And if I could make a deal with God I’d get an RV in Cape Cod And I’d run up the hill just to hear my own mouth breathing Oh explain to me, Oracle of Delphi Was I poor or was I wealthy? Sebastokratorissa – really? A selfie?

[I'm swimming and] x 42 Open up your eyes, come on, open up your eyes, Can’t you see that time is passing you by? Swimming through the night, we’ll be swimming through the night It’s alright, let the music decide

You're looking for skies in your soul and stopping time Your face is hanging on the wall of someone's mind The steps you take remind you of the desert sand The coffee's falling upside down into your hand You can't see clearly You go outside to look for care in strangers' eyes The streets are walking far too fast for you to rise And so you sink inside some section of the sea It takes you deep and far away in liquid ecstasy It makes you happy There's light and darkness and some movement in between You're in too deep you just can't wake up from this dream You want to live without regrets Coffee, sun and cigarettes Day after day, day after day, day after day, I'm falling

Ten camels and a bell post Swirling in your brain like a ghost Through your mind’s eye you see them watching you Through their blind eyes reflecting everything you do Ten camels in a ring Every single one following The tails left right left right before your eyes Like a lighthouse, they shelter and they hypnotize Ten red droplets spinnin’ round From your face to the dirty ground Here’s your eyes you can keep the drug money Hear me now, hear me now, hear me now honey You’re going insane, you’re going insane The camels in your brain are galloping You’re going insane, you’re going insane The camels in your brain are galloping You’re going insane, you’re going insane The camels in your brain are galloping You’re going insane, you’re going insane Strange faces in the rain are bellowing

flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flowlines pushing through the traces of the world around still alive alive and shaking alive and shaking and crackling through the seams of what you’d call my mind but you don’t see it now now that we parted and that love has dropped its orange gown flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flow everywhere I go everywhere I go silently it knows the path it follows and silently I flow away from sorrow because my love I love you no more so come let’s talk about photography let’s talk about how jokingly the moonlight cancels out the snow flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flow everywhere I go everywhere I go so slowly we flow and the rivers seem out of tune seem incapable of letting out a sound we didn’t already know perhaps you were right perhaps it’s hard to be always feeling the depth of the sunlight on the bus stop and the universe in the moonlit snow but the moment I take it easy is the moment I die and so I dance inside the flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flow everywhere I go everywhere I go flow everywhere I go everywhere I go

Dancing the waltz in the morning, alone every day Dancing again anyway
