One Song for me.

I am the universe
The sun, the moon and sea
I am the energy
4 that is what I believe
I can be contradiction
'cause that is all I see
But I am the universe
And the universe is me

I am the one song (Ah yes)
And that one song is free
All things come from this one song (Yes they do, uh)
The garden and the tree
If everything, everything is present
What is will always be
This here is the first and the last song
And all that come between

When language falls like a wounded soldier
And it's covered by the sea
All the sadness
All these unanswered questions
Keep me company
(Company, company, company come 2 me, come 2 me please!)
Here at the center of it all
(I know)
I know that U can only come from me

(I am the universe)
Yes it will, oh, yes it will
(The sun, the moon and sea)
Where else is it gonna come from but me?
(I am the universe)
Oh my, my my my my my my my universe
(The universe is me)
(I am the universe)
(The sun, the moon and sea)
(I am the universe)
(We are the universe) {x2}
(The universe is me)
One truth (One truth)
One song (One song)
One energy

In a pale blue spotlight
A figure spins around, a voice calls out 2 U
"Baby...do U like the sound?"
The undulating acrobat ready to do your bidding says,
"Come, U must let me dress U
But first I must do a fitting...
Do U like fast? Or do U like it slow?"

I know it's better if we make it up as we go...
And oh, by the way tell me now what's your name?
I'll let it sweeten my tongue just once
And never speak it again
Since this is our little secret
Untarnished memory in a pale blue spotlight
Let me hear U scream, if you're ready 4...
One nite alone... with me

Raspberry Beret sounds both cool and poetic...

I was working part time in a five and dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
'Cause I was a bit too leisurely

Seems that I was busy doing something close too nothing
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door

She wore a raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her

Built like she was, she had the nerve to ask me
If I planned to do her any harm
So, look here, I put her on the back of my bike
And-a we went riding down by old man Johnson's farm

I said now, overcast days never turned me on
But something about the clouds and her mixed
She wasn't to bright, but I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how to get her kicks

She wore a raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her

The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
And the horses wonder who you are
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
You feel like a movie star

Listen, they say the first time ain't the greatest
But I tell ya, if I had the chance to do it all again
I wouldn't change a stroke 'cause baby I'm the most
With a girl as fine as she was then

Raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
If it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I, think I, I think I love her

Raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
If it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her

All song lyrics are poetry.

And there's good and bad poetry, of course.

Yes! his use of internal rhyme/ imperfect rhyme, playing off the sound of the words themselves (he's really expert at that- almost picking up the musical nature of the language)... so casual makes it look easy as hell!

Dreamin' About U

Revolving around every word that is spoken
Like the planets around the sun
I want U
Your tongue is a great persuader
Yeah, U got me sold
And when I'm alone in my room just watching a rose
I dream about U, I dream about U

When my sane twin reigns
Claiming your aim is 2 maim my subconscious into being with U
I dream about U
Betting on the notion that if my lustier twin prevails
Like the ruins of Rome, I'll lie helpless at your feet
Yeah, when I'm alone
I dream about U, I dream about U

Adore

Until the end of time
I'll be there for you
You own my heart and mind
I truly adore you
If God one day struck me blind**
Your beauty I'd still see
Love is to weak to define
Just what you mean to me

When we be making love
I only hear the sounds
Heavenly angels crying up above
Tears of joy pouring down on us

Beautiful...

Space
I never been one to hide my feelings
Baby, you blow my mind
I painted your face upon my ceiling
I stare at it all the time
I imagine myself inside your bedroom
Oh I imagine myself in your sky
You are the reason there's bass in my boom
You are the reason I'm high

"Curious Child"

In a room full of harlots and fantasy
Destiny beckoned us there
Curious child on the balcony
We took the dare

Careless I was 2 caress thee
Yet never regretting the time
The joy that we shared, it was meant 2 be
And not a crime
No, it's not a crime

If memory serves us, we will align
2 the truth that we most often share
Curious child, U are on my mind
Do U care?

"Wedding Feast"

"Brother dear brother, I came as quickly as I could
The Digital Haze is broken,The Banished Ones r gone 4 good, gone 4 good"

Now there must b a wedding
Now there must b a feast
A feast, a feast
A smorgasbord at least
A brunch, a munch
Of cake if just a piece

Not just a vat of chitlins
Or turkey meat u c
We r what we eat
So we must eat a leaf
We'll dine under a tree
Unless it snows!
