lyrics

rivers of gold
shimmering cities that glow
a robot will hold my head when i feel dead
...or i just want to die
watching the crimson blood tornado inside
i watch the blood spiral, slide down the stream
fade into gold...fade in and out of this dream
magnetic wave runs right through the city
HOT silver streak and we speak in loose change
presidents heads roll out of my mouth
tongues metallic off a mercury toothache
trying to remove that liquid god
dying inside the truly mirage
every tool the garage has in it
has spent a few minutes
inside of the mouth, inside of the hole
that takes in the gold
spits out the mold
when i do what i'm told

Chiseling!!
i chip ivory, spit ivory tusks
into the gut of Mao tse tung
my tongue flings, a gold rainbow
as the magnetic wave gets pulled underground
go volcano!
lava rock! lava rock!
...on top of that lava rock
give it dirt, give it girth, call it earth
grow the grass, burst the fern...
minerals churn underground

along the way, something has happened
when its open, they cap it
but whatever was in, they extract it
pave it around, get the gold, safe and sound
get it home, left alone...

build poems, poets build bridges
take the ash and pack an urn with it
now's the hour, when they spin to minutes
as the world turns, grab the digits!

all tomes get thrown in the shade
stitched a poem through the hand of the brave
but with a cold blade, serrated knife
that tore a slice though the fabric of life
i feel as if we've been blinded by design
the fed reserve lies inside of our minds
if you truly want wealth,
speak what's inside...
open your mind,
let it shine
