Dig deep beneath

The sutures and the scenery

Past you and me

And merciless machinery

Dream and defeat

Entropy, mortality

A love supreme

Unanswerable mystery

Prophet on a couch

Mystic and a souse

Forever haunt this house

I’ll never shout you down

To feel is free so preach the need

To be obscene - thesis complete

No god in your church

No damnation, all rebirth

For all we’re worth

We’ve got to live in this world first

The serum is in short supply

That makes a rise of our decline

All those who claim to know

Dream only of control

Divine dreams

The mind weaves

Let time cease

To bind me

Play on the white keys

Tension, release

Dig deep beneath

The decades and their decencies

Where you and me

We’ll laugh at the absurdity

Raise a glass to Uncle John

A prophet ‘til the liquor’s gone

Beneath the watchful eye

Of the all-seeing blind

The serum is in short supply

That makes a rise of our decline

All those who claim to know

Dream only of control
