Venus in the morning sky as big as a car headlight.
Clouds give meaning to the word scuttling, winds move them at a pace as fast as clicking crabs at tideline in mating season, scuttling sideways amid phosphorescing sands.
Seagulls' sunrise squeal, last night's basso-vibrato - frogs appearing after the rains. You put it in a vial see, hear, smell what becomes in the sillage of your imagination. Send some in a bottle to me and yours.
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind Dead kings, many things I can't define Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind Incense and peppermints, the color of time
Who cares what games we choose Little to win, but nothing to lose
Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah,yeah, no
To divide this cockeyed world in two Throw your pride to one side, it's the least youcan do Beatniks and politics, nothing is new A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view Who cares what games we choose Little to win, but nothing to lose
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind Dead kings, many things I can't define Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind Incense and peppermints, the color of timeWho cares what games we choose
Little to win, but nothing to lose Incense and peppermintsIncense and peppermints
