Hooray! I awake from yesterday.... Alive, but the war is here to stay.... So my love, Katharina and me, decide to take a last walk through the noise to the sea... not to die, but to be reborn, away from a land so battered and torn.....

Oh say, can you see its really such a mess.. every inch of earth is a fighting nest... tryin' to pencil ear and lipstick tube shaped things to give you terrain and cause screamin' pain, and the arted stains, from silver blue to bloody red, as our feet find the sand and the sea....

Well its too bad that our friends can't be with us today,its too bad... The machine..that we built..could never save us.. thats what they say...thats why they ain't comin with us.. and they also threw this in my face, They said, "Anyway, you know good and well, it would be beyond the will of God, and the grace of a King..a prisoner of Cain...

interlude

So down and down and down and down and down and down we go hurry, my darling, we musn't be late.. for the show...... Neptune champion gains to an aqua velvet surreal world.. "Right this way" smiles a mermaid, and I can hear Atlantis full of cheer! Atlantis full of cheer...

So my darling and I make love in the sand... to salute this last moment nevermore turning 'round... our machine has done its work, played its part well; without a scratch on our bodies, we may bid it farewell.. Giant fans and starfish greet us with a smile, before our heads go under, we take a last look at the killing noise around....

Did anyone ever know whether Katharina liked to mudwrestle?

Right about that time, people... a Polly Trapper, who was strictly from commercial (strictly commercial) Had the unmitigated audacity to jump up from behind my igloo (peekaboo) and started into whipping on my favorite Polly with a lead-filled Naval War College document....

That got me just about as evil as an Eskimo boy can be.

Great Googlymoogly!

Hendrix; Wasn't that the acid head/nam vet that OD'd on pills and booze and died choking on his own puke because he was to far stoned to wake up? Did he ever make a truly beautiful piece of music?

Only on his first through last albums....

Midas;

Zappa AND Rand... AND Hendrix AND Jim Morrison AND Jefferson Airplane AND Pete Townshend ("Won't Get Fooled Again" -- that's me).

And WE'RE the ones who wrote a lot of that code!

It all sort-of makes sense now, doesn't it?
