what i feel when i'm playing guitar |
|
is completely cold and crazy, |
|
like i don't owe nobody nothing |
|
and it's just a test just to see |
|
how far i can relax |
|
into the cold wave of a note. |
|
when everything hits just right (just and right) |
|
the note of nobility can go on forever. |
|
i never tire of the solitary E |
|
and i trust my guitar |
|
and i don't care about anything. |
|
sometimes i feel like i've broken through |
|
and i'm free and i could dig into eternity |
|
into eternity riding the wave |
|
and realm of the E. |
|
sometimes it's useless. |
|
here i am struggling and filled with dread |
|
afraid that i'll never squeeze enough |
|
graphite from my damaged cranium |
|
to inspire or asphyxiate any eyes |
|
grazing like hungry cows across the stage or page. |
|
inside of me i'm crazy i'm just crazy. |
|
inside i must continue. |
|
i see her, my stiff muse, |
|
jutting around round round |
|
round like a broken speeding statue. |
|
the colonial year is dead |
|
and the greeks too are finished. |
|
the face of alexander remains not only solely |
|
due to sculpture but through the power and foresight |
|
and magnetism of alexander himself. |
|
the artist must maintain his swagger. |
|
he must he must he must be intoxicated |
|
by ritual as well as result. |
|
look at me i am laughing. |
|
i am laughing. |
|
i am lapping cocaine from the hard brown palm |
|
of the bouncer. and i trust my guitar. |
|
therefore we black out together. |
|
therefore i would run through scum. |
|
and scum is just ahead, ah we see it, |
|
but we just laugh. |
|
we're ascending through the hollow mountain. |
|
we are peeking. |
|
we are laughing. |
|
we are kneeling. |
|
we are laughing. |
|
we are radiating at last. |
|
this rebellion is just a gas |
|
our gas a gas that we pass. |
