Take a voyage through the heart of darkness To the sound of violins On a sleeper train across the face of the moon Discover many things Go transatlantic, transpacific Till the scales fall from your eyes Amplify the longing, exaggerate the heat And rise
Paul at Damascus and Christopher Columbus Only found what they knew Close your eyes and you may find it too RNA and DNA In a post-ethical age Nothing is true We move like shadows across the stage
Originator man, originator man Make me a sun in the palm of your hand A rising and setting sun Deflowering, 24 hours, reflowering Going out of fashion Coming back into fashion Catch the fruit as it falls for me Hang it on the tree again
(Sunshine in the darkness) I guess I've come to throw some shade (Moving in the aftershock) This time I've come to pull some weight (Forwards through the crossfire) Wc move with hands outstretched Like the passionate forms we are Carbon based lives Born in exploding stars (The helix and the spiral) Transatlantic, transpacific Four minutes and 33 seconds of love
A prophet predicted a space probe That predicted the start of a world An impossibly remote opportunity A flash of the dice in the game of chance Played by a lonely young girl Then came a messiah, a second messiah A third messiah then another messiah Then everything changed Signal to noise, boys will be boys And girls will be boys Increment is decrement, Christ is anti-Christ And so on and so on - to cry is to laugh There are multiplications and variations There is no true path
Call him cut creator, originator Or call him another name All the basking sharks on the barrier reef Call him The Oyster Man He's ducking for pearls, throwing them back Watching the signs, making it new Experimental worlds In Cibachrome blue
(Sunshine in the darkness) Take a voyage through the heart To the sound of violins On a sleeper train across the face of the moon Discover many things (Moving in the aftershock) Paul at Damascus and Christopher Columbus Only found what they knew Close your eyes and you may find it too (Forwards through the crossfire) We move with hands outstretched Like the passionate forms we are Carbon-based lives born in exploding stars (The helix and the spiral) Ragamuffin boy, Sheherezade A commonplace book of styles Lying in the olive grove God smiles
