It came up on him fast like, and he say:
“What’s a man to do?!” - keep your head on a swivel now,
This way! Cause what you see ain’t true, no no no no no no!
It’s not like he knew what he was gettin’ - gettin’ all into
And the story might take a turn for the worse
Here’s what I told him to do:
You gotta wake up, every morning, at the exact same, same time
Clear the cobwebs, out your clouded mind
… let the breeze flow freely through your ears
Then look west! and follow the sun
Down to the horizon & Wait!
For, for each magic moment, for they could be a sign
You should know they’re reflections of time
….Pearl keeps herself less confined
She nips those fears in the bud - doesn’t let them take hold
They’re liable to grab ya, n’ smack ya hard when you’re not there!
Oh! Yea! Oh they’re liable to getcha, yea you gotta, brbrb, pay attention! Open it up, open it
up! Open it up!!!
The same had happened last night, and we said,
“There’s a plan afoot.” Oooweeoohooh!
Kept at bay the drivel now that way, U ain’t act the fool
No no no no no no no!
It’s like his brain grew tenfold, and in time, Paul was smitten and smooth
Ooh the glory was bestowed, they were in the know - and all that grace rang true, yea!
Open up your earhole, don’t you know it’s time to
Pearl will blow your mind Paul, after all this time dude
Open up yer earhole, all the souls that bind you, yea!
Paul will do in kind Pearl, after all he went through
Pearl, and Paul Down to the horizon
It could be a sign, yes Through the years
Oh they will Hold and embrace, love each other
Don’t you know they always knew
That this, would, be, their time

Blame It on Ya

Heeeyo! Can you believe this? Oh! Have you heard this word? Wowwuhweewuh!
Lemme tell you ‘bout a dude I seent, got a cerebellum not quite complete
He’s been running around, and dropping his drawers, and waiting for some people to open
some doors
I told him, that the way to a person’s mind, is not through the eyes, but through the behiiind-
yeeaahyoooh
Huh, he laughed at that one - that’ll getcha nowhere though…
Unh, ya gotta look at what the people do, not what they say – true dat, foo –
Adjust accordingly and you will find that I won’t need to state my mind and yell:
I blame it on ya!!! The sane are strong ya! Inane begonias! What the hell dat mean? (I
don’t know)
There is a method that we like to call the Elysian Way – guided by principles, devoid of
oversight, ‘tis what we say….
If you uncover a maxim of goodness then send it my waaaay, then I shall grasp with
Ptolemaical wisdom that I shan’t not say….
I blame it on ya! No shame upon ya! He shall atone for ya! I blame it…I don’t even know
ya, inane begonias, I’m here to hone you, ooh I blame it, on ya
Do ya think the Earth is flat?!?! -- I do!
And do ya want the time rolled back?!? -- That’s true!
When was it we made it great?!? -- Four score?
Watch I’ll fleece ya: now pronate -- You sore?!
Oooh, you are, you are, you are in for a treat
& I am, I am, I am gonna complete, this education, no longer wooly, yea this
consternation – I think we’ve got it, ooh woah!
Ohhhh! Yea! Full circle, damn skippy, hmm hmm hmm!
So many people, so many songs, everybody just started singing along – but they don’t know
what the lyrics mean…is that a problem?
Which brings me around to the man of the hour, who tried tell his buddies he had super
powers – but some mutha fuckers, moi inclus, saw right through that shit….
I blame it on ya! I blame it on youuu yea, I blame it on youuoouuoouu yea
It’s not hard people, my dutiful plebeians, open your eyes,
Look for the standard Dyami discovered on long and calm skies
Waltzing and jumping out of the proverbial tres leche cake
Which manna comes from which teat my milk brother, I wonder awake
I blame it on youuuuuuuuu
WooooW!! Holy! That shit hurt maing! The afterbirth of the rebirth, not what I expected…hows
‘bout you, hmm?!?
So now that Bodhisattva done smacked us around, is our skinny minded Buddha still acting
the clo-oo-own? No ma’am, he all vascular, flowing strong, keeping on
Let this be a message of heart over hate, that these thoughts shall not stagnate…Ooh ooh
ooh! Just watch me, stick with me - - I shall be your spirit guide my lovelies – no doubt, &
thank ye kindly, carry on, carry on - - now where’d that blame go again??
Do you think the Earth is flat ?!?! -- I do!
(I mean, you gotta look at what the people, do)
And do you want the time rolled back?! -- That’s true!
(Adjust accordingly and you will find, that I won’t
need to speak my mind…)
When was it that we made great?! -- Four score?
(I mean, you gotta look at what the people, do)
Watch I’ll fleece ya: now pronate! -- You sore?!
(Adjust accordingly and you…..)
Oh yea! You are, you are, you are in for a treat
I am, I am, I am gonna complete – this education, no longer wooly no no oh, this
consternation – I think we’ve got it, got it – Oh yea! Oh yea! Oh ooh, ooh ooh oooo….

How We Do It Here

In proportion, and notwithstanding, we made the call
Emboldened vision, truth among us, we watched it fall
And it was not for nothing, you know, you wanted it for something, heed this call…
Eyes ablaze, you’re wrapped in my gaze, and now I’ll show you, how we do it here
The ground will crack, from the roots that did stack oh my, you’ve got nothing - to fear yea,
yeaaaaaah ooohhh!
Ow! Ohhh - wait a minute, I was mistaken
You’ve got a hefty penance gurl
But don’t worry, I’m gonna help you out
You just have to run it on down the line
And everything will work out just fine yea
That‘s the difference between black and right
And wrong and night – it’s simple, it’s not intimated, not imitated
But for fuck’s sake you better choose wisely
You best be better choosin wisely
Cause I’ve been here, I’ve been before yea
And you don’t know the score
I’m quite indifferent
Like we got different pigments, where’d the blood go?
I checked the pressure, by any other measure
How does it show? Again? - the way in which you glance
Shall we do this dance? And you say no, no, no
Eyes ablaze, and you’re wrapped in my gaze , and now I’ll show you, how we do it here
The ground will crack, from the roots that did stack oh my, you’ve got nothing
Ooh ahh ooh ahh - Ooh ahh ooh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh - Ahh ahh, oooooo ahh
Eyes ablaze, and you’re wrapped in my gaze, and now I’ll show you, how we do it here
The ground will crack, from the roots that did stack oh my, and you’ve got nothing – to
fear! Yea
Oooooh Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Oh!
