Part IV / VIII

Daedalus

IV.01

Genesis

The curtains come down

Everyone starts singing and dancing

This is where I belong

Singing and dancing

I am a ten feet tall yellow brick wall

No running in my hall

That’s against the law

I made a man of Charlie Brown

The man who stayed sat on the ground,

But Chuck’s Lament,

Was heaven sent,

It made me finally turn around.

IV.02

Transcendental Excavation

I have a bad community of habits,

Singing lullabies to abbots, Smoking, watching people Handling the hazard I bet hell’s frozen over

Close! But no cigar.

Better luck next time. Better luck yet, Lucky cigarette.

God made cigarettes for me,

God made fingerprints in ink,

God made silhouettes so man can lie,

God has made the music die,

God has made the levee dry,

God has made the whiskey rye,

My everlasting warmth is burning

Flesh and rubber tires.

Fire of Fire, Spire of White,

The sun and moon must sacrifice,

Their hair, their heir, their swimming wear,

Everything must get inside

My love.

It’s lonely as the sun, It’s lonely as the blood run. It’s lonely as the summer, When Summer is for lovers, and winter is for lovers’ glove..

White eyes,

White bride,

White lies,

The sky is made of a surprise.

The sky is made of justice.

The sky is made of everyone.

The sky is made of comforts.

The sky the sky.

My baby is so high,

The way the sun shines,

It’s alright.

Violet white,

Holy night,

All is calm, all is light,

Sleep in paradise.

Pairs of eyes, Pairs of ears, Years of tears,

Birthday girl,

It’s your world,

You’re my candle,

Burning burn, It’s your turn.

Pair of wings,

What do you bring?

Suffering?

To my small town,

To wedding gown, Baby lying down.

Sweet Nothing,

Beneath the sound I found

Wings are things that keep you on the ground.
