lyrics

ABOUT THE CULTURE OF SLEEP

L-Dopa Tryptophane serotonin to eat
Rise-up its in the clock Rise-up
Osiris
Shaking Parkinsons dis-ease the sense
of sin-nil-ity
This is what your fascination
the color of the needs of your dreams
Society in the guise of YOU
Them and me
the uncoerced desires can we but see
The construction at its source
can its existence even be
where is the construction of activity
The structure of phenala-la-nine
arginine and with the fine powder or ornithine
T-cells from the thalamus between in front and around the heart
the serpent ascending coiled at the sacrum up
And up around and through my vision caught as a net the heavenly hue
three mountain goats introduced to me to breathing this way and the other they were said to be
Neither Nor the quest but the cup itself
wrought from Kindness enchanted by the possibility of staying late
For it is that time matters little when you are late
And it is 3 things not one
But as they spoke with tongues of frame not flame
they told the names whilst sitting on the abyss
Their name was Doe and their name as A
Oh tell me please and I asked the way
Up and Up and around and through again and again In-DEED A-GAIN
taking upon atomic weight becoming so dense transparency arrives
Simply in its chemical complexities
there are atoms of air in your lungs that were once in in the lings of every one who has ever lived (and is living now)
we are breathing each other
The will is alive only as well as consciousness is chemical
Be the chemistry
Feed the head
Nurtured on the cristo the oil of its oracle
the tongue is a natural extension
and is divided with the snake coiled
but by now traveling up re-gaining its oil golden
The endocrine system the holographic circuit system
fed on light starlight and of its sight
And look over there Can you but see
the deftly stepping autolytic enzymes
phagocetic cells of entropy
harboring their cyanide pills
Usually to be released, what a pity unconsciously, which means without the activity of to-gethering
An now on the culture of sleep
