Never Nothing Like That

歌詞

Deep in the dark Californian night Driving straight into the stars Half of the moon sits on top of the hillcrest To x-ray the clouds and their scars Spanish accordions dog all the handprints But changing for change sake was soothing The bargain begins at the first sight of mountain To obey the mystery of moving Damp in the cold Californian morning The eye behind the wave Brown into green, into green, into blue Into blue into some deeper grave Apple-skin fledglings supine on wood That's been waxed to slide over violence The bargain begins at the first sight of ocean To obey the mystery of silence Sometimes I wake with the lightning in my eyes And the echo of some thunderclap Jesus, man, what a motherfucker of a storm I have never seen nothing like that Deep in the dark Californian night The iambic frame of the naked Pushing the screen up against all the water Listening for sounds that sound sacred Belatedly praising the roots for their honor Grateful the earth remains porous The bargain begins at the first sight of breathing To obey the mysteries before us To obey all the mysteries before us
