Fiery creatures in smokey cages
Told to deny your nature for ages
There is power in hearing desire
There is risk in all species of changes
Give a listen to your throbbing body
Chains accumulate with resistance
The world feeds on your demeanour
Liberated with heated insistence
Oh, sunlight streamin through your body
Let it melt your achin worries
Free yourself from abandoned emotion
There is always cause to hurry
When the voice in your head starts singin
Tear out of your old dead skin
You’ll be saved from the weighty unknowing
Like the taste of your first breath of oxygen
(I’ve only got a gift for one thing in the world:
boring myself to death. Now you know.)
When you find it, start your engines
When you find it scale the mountains
When it’s over, start another
When you’re living show the wonder
It will cast you into the river
Freshest water you’ve ever tasted
It’ll fly you to the rings of Saturn
You’ll be happy that you made it
