[length: 04:36]
[00:17.73]A sunflower growing on a narrow raft in a fog bank on the Thames
[00:23.33]Adrift above the tide slime where nothing holy swims
[00:30.08]”Wherever did it come from, likely bird shit,” someone said
[00:36.05]Just a random freak of nature that refuses to play dead
[00:42.75]Oh, to be that stand up straight past seven feet or more
[00:48.47]Aye, she ain’t no faux silk pansy boys, what washed up on the shore
[00:54.32]So, let us stop and marvel for as long as we can spare
[01:00.41]Seems you have no need for heaven when your hearts already there
[01:07.21]Would that I should be so bold
[01:13.34]Greatest story never told
[01:19.76]Worth the wait in solid gold
[01:25.83]Would that I should be so bold
[01:29.23]
[01:34.32]I dreamed on sunshine skyway bridge ‘tween Tampa and St. Pete
[01:40.83]Titanic, and the iceberg, and the twain still yet to meet
[01:47.61]I was running long side Jesus Christ plumed helmet and red cape
[01:52.97]When I vowed unto the Prince of Peace to aid in his escape
[01:59.02]When I felt the spear go in me from the right side to the left
[02:04.73]I was streaming Mississippi (see Bob Dylan, Love and Theft)
[02:11.83]When Jesus turned to thank me for the gift of second sight
[02:17.58]I waved him off, “No worries man,” I think I’ll be alright
[02:24.25]Would that I were born again
[02:30.30]Makes no difference where or when
[02:36.74]Knowing now what I knew then
[02:42.49]Would that I were born again
[02:47.14]
[02:57.07]From the rainbow eucalyptus stand beyond the River Styx
[03:03.28]To the blood falls in the Arctic, it’s at least 8000 clicks
[03:09.48]You can get there as the crow flies headed north from Singapore
[03:15.10]But you better get a move on ‘fore she melts down to the core
[03:21.63]When a red dawn in an angry sky portends blue rue and ruin
[03:27.87]It’s that wanna be a rich guy who pretends there’s nothing doing
[03:34.66]But if that ticking time bomb ‘neath the Yellowstone should blow
[03:40.06]It’s adios amigo, see you somewhere down below
[03:47.51]Would that we should e’er forget
[03:53.35]Things that haven’t happened yet
[03:59.52]That someday we might regret
[04:05.57]Would that we should er’r forget
[04:12.31]Would that we should er’r forget
