lyrics

How often have I leapt
how often burned
my hair wakened to weep ashes
I have said, love is a downer
love is a bastard
Trembling mercury laying
on waves in the highway
to the full roaring furnace of sun at zenith year
Come into the fire, come in.
fire that burns the leaves
the silver flame
How often have I leapt
Congress in slow motion put me back
I found my body in
Kaleidoscope where glass
and woke in flesh alive
I was hung of flesh
my own five hound senses
under a tar roof
Dance through me as I through you
here in the heart
our cells are burning
each a little furnace.
this night the sun and moon dance with you
and I dance in the fire
of which we are the logs, the matches and the flames
the matches and the flame
