Lyrics:
When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip I wanted someplace to call my home And so I made the race And I staked me out a place And I settled down along the Cimarron It blowed away It blowed away My Oklahoma home it blown away Well it looked so green and fair When I built my shanty there Now my Oklahoma home is blown away Well I planted wheats and oats Got some chickens and some shoats Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face Got a mule to pull the plow Got an old red muley cow And I also got a fancy mortgage on this place Well it blowed away It blowed away All the crops that I've planted blown away Well you can't grow any grain It you ain't got any rain Everything except my mortgage blown away Well it looked so green and fair When I built my shanty there I figured I was all set for life I put on my Sunday best, with my fancy scalloped vest And I went to town to pick me out a wife She blowed away She blowed away My Oklahoma woman blowed away Mister as I bent to kiss her She was picked up by a twister My Oklahoma woman blown away Well then I was left alone just listenin' to the moan Of wind around the corners of my shack So I took off down the road yeah When the south wind blowed I traveled with the wind upon my back I blowed away I blowed away Chasin' that dust cloud up ahead Once it looked so green and fair Now it' up in the air My Oklahoma farm is over head.
It looked so green and fair, when I built my shanty there, I figured I was all set for life. I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest And went to town and picked me out a wife. She blowed away, she blowed away My Oklahoma woman blowed away.
The white hunter sits on his porch With his elephant gun and his tears He'll shoot you for free If you come around here A protestor kneels on the neck of a statue The statue says I can't breathe The protestor says now you know how it feels And he kicks it into the sea And I'm a Botticelli Venus with a penis Riding an enormous scalloped fan I'm a sea foam woman rising from the spray Yeah, I'm coming to do you harm With the gun in my pants full of elephant tears And a seahorse on each arm With my elephant gun of tears I'll shoot you all for free If you even think about coming 'round here I'll shoot you in the fucking face If you think of coming around here I'm an ice sculpture melting in the sun I'm an ice sculpture with an elephant gun I'm an ice sculpture made of elephant-sized tears Raining gas and salt upon your heads The president has called in the Feds I've been planning this for years I'll shoot you in the fucking face If you think of coming around here I'll shoot you just for fun I'm a statue lying on my side, in the sun With the memory of an elephant Evaporating before your eyes And becoming a great grey cloud of wrath Roaring my salt upon the earth I will shoot you all for free If you so much as look at me A time is coming The time is nigh For the kingdom in the sky Don't ask who Don't ask why There's a kingdom in the sky We're all coming home For a while A time is coming The time is nigh For the kingdom in the sky We're all coming home For a while A time is coming The time is nigh For the kingdom in the sky We're all coming home In a while (The kingdom in the sky)
When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip I wanted someplace to call my home And so I made the race And I staked me out a place And I settled down along the Cimarron It blowed away It blowed away My Oklahoma home it blown away Well it looked so green and fair When I built my shanty there Now my Oklahoma home is blown away Well I planted wheats and oats Got some chickens and some shoats Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face Got a mule to pull the plow Got an old red muley cow And I also got a fancy mortgage on this place Well it blowed away It blowed away All the crops that I've planted blown away Well you can't grow any grain It you ain't got any rain Everything except my mortgage blown away Well it looked so green and fair When I built my shanty there I figured I was all set for life I put on my Sunday best, with my fancy scalloped vest And I went to town to pick me out a wife She blowed away She blowed away My Oklahoma woman blowed away Mister as I bent to kiss her She was picked up by a twister My Oklahoma woman blown away Well then I was left alone just listenin' to the moan Of wind around the corners of my shack So I took off down the road yeah When the south wind blowed I traveled with the wind upon my back I blowed away I blowed away Chasin' that dust cloud up ahead Once it looked so green and fair Now it' up in the air My Oklahoma farm is over head.
Somberly, somberly Linger, lie longerly Grateful our cold memories cry For the plentiful times that, that Her eagerly death hath had Counter intuitive underride Clean thy sparkling teeth Brush down thy sparkling sides That thy nervous blood would become undone From impedious pounding ideas Some shattering fawn for this candented dawn Pluck up their worm holes and give them To feeders that spirits be freer and freer And broil and toil and foil thy scalloped breastbone Roll and toll and fold the long winters in it Think not what the season'll become Reap fruitfully of the gardendom That grew masterfully over your withering son Beat out them bed bugs Stand when you do it Beat out them bed bugs Stand when you do it Some shattering fawn for this candented dawn Pluck up their worm holes and give them To feeders that spirits be freer Some shattering fawn for this candented dawn Pluck up their worm holes and give them To feeders that spirits be freer and freer and freer and
Spin the top on the table Striped in stark leaves And times longways Stranded in the room lobby Scrambling to the mean animatronic shiva What befits is novelty Bounds out toward And blue pumpkins Then blimp and cape sketched out on the dote-map Bounds out toward unbridled fields Like flat-folk peering over bluffs Yellow scalloped objects through glass blocks And the still-water river-cephalopods Valhalla I am certain Transcluscent I am rewarded Innumerable, I am saved Purview
I flew over Egypt today God like not on wings Of aeroplane and saw The pyramids not I could have been in Bangalore because The shutters were drawn The windows shrouded The air conditioned Hidden from the sun And eating plastic Watching movies of Hollywood interpretation Understanding mountains And fertile valleys Cleaving barren minds And blood red pastures Today I flew over Palestine Borrowing patches of sand And zigzag trackways Leading the sighted back To the gathering blind And scale gives scope To death and bones are Bleaching legendary Warriors are born And cloud banks filter Scattered settlements Clinging to tradition Hanging on to tales self Defined by contradiction Cliffs and tufted powder Scooped and scalloped Boundary lines and Billows of clouds stealing Rain from the oceans
The only thing that I adore Is rows and rows and rows of corn I think of you and I get bored I want another ear of corn Creamed or scalloped, cold or warm I like rows and rows of corn The only reason I was born Was to sell and purchase corn It's corn or you!
When I am old and comforted And done with this desire With memory to share my bed When I am old and comforted And done with this desire With peace to share my fire I'll comb my hair in scalloped bands Beneath my laundered cap And watch my cool and fragile hands Lie light upon my lap And I will have a sprigged gown With lace to kiss my throat I'll draw my curtain to the town And hum a purring note And I'll forget the way of tears And rock and stir my tea But oh how I wish those blessed years Were further than they'd be And I will have a sprigged gown With lace to kiss my throat I'll draw my curtain to the town And hum a purring note When I am old and comforted And done with this desire With memory to share my bed When I am old and comforted And done with this desire With peace to share my fire With peace to share my fire
Upon ragged fray of tangled skein mind disembodies corpus A fickle tide will ebb us senseless seal-pups among the orcas Oscillate our terrors shapeless Till we are shifting dunes Octopi with phantom limbs impermanent and formless Unblinking eye in heart of vortex sob away the gulf that warps us Wine-dark waters soften contours blur her static borders Allay the descant echo of the former storms that haunt us And whilst ashore we were porous Beneath the waves we are amorphous In maelstrom of inertia Tsunamis` soulless surfers Carve dorsal wake chasing spray of crashing breakers Cross razor crest of barren reef Beyond the shoreline ́s shriek of pining beaks Where Agony ́s scalloped vessel leaks A liquid dearth of urges Undercurrents ripple peace while on floating isles of kelp Sorrows ́ sirens sleep and Silence dreams a purpose A voyage doomed A hopeless quest A lost cause to immerse us Drown as one in conchs` nest in wreck of sweet convergence In Sargasso depths no promise unkept every breath is wordless Sunken numb flood aqualung harpoon tongue what stung is done A sadness from the surface As dead as Ahab's curses And never unsevered tethered forever to Neptune ́s nethers Soon I swear my Love Will hurt less
I stay behind the weather And read till half past one A pantheon of gods appear And tell me I should run The river is a necklace Absolving everyone I fantasize a trilogy Resolved itself in one Afternoon communion Beneath the colonnade A swan-like figure morphs into A scalloped frieze inlaid I trampoline into a space Where beauty shows a midnight face And alibis are only used To verify the best of news No memory of what I thought Remains to blur the moment caught No memory of what I thought Remains to blur the moment caught I need to be connected Like pools of glycerine Absorbing all the passing light Reflecting with a sheen I can't deny the fervour Of revelries unseen The navigator smiled and said I know just what you mean Trailing through the cosmos Of everyday affairs I wonder how the panoply In empyrean compares I trampoline into a space Where beauty shows a midnight face And alibis are only used To verify the best of news No memory of what I thought Remains to blur the moment caught No memory of what I thought Remains to blur the moment caught I trampoline into a space Where beauty shows a midnight face And alibis are only used To verify the best of news No memory of what I thought Remains to blur the moment caught No memory of what I thought Remains to blur the moment caught
Close enough to kiss Two hawks pass, coiling Enraptured raptors riding through the air Eyes catching pieces of light Radical pairs quantumly entangled Earth's magnetic field flashing below Like runway beacons Visible pathways of guiding light, Do they also see the gusts On which they glide Currents curling under their wings A deep greyblue sea or tornados of green Fiery flames surging with wind's pulse Sparks swirling like starry skies Tidal waves of wind Crashing over houses Howling sirens of windsong rattling windows Washing through the trees Swaying languidly like old lovers Dancing in the hush of shushing leaves Pouring through wild fields Tall grasses rushing Swells and eddies and pools and lakes of wind Thin trickles,.. swirling tentacles of wind Like writhing snakes Fingers of wind beckoning Tendrils swirling like smoke Ribbons of air tying bows In twisting strands of hair Brushing ripples across reed shades Sending shivers over the surface of A stream or licking sun-bare skin The shape of dunes of sand scalloped Edges of drifting snow The shape of rain slicing sheets Sheets billowing on a line Like puffs of clouds Fluffs of down floating upward Dandelion tufts like flakes of snow Snow blowing sideways Gyrating arabesques Leftover luffs of sails or spinnakers Filled round like Dizzy's cheeks Pirouetting dancer An ice skater spinning faster and faster A dervish whirling Fluttering of prayer flags butterfly wings An escaped balloon ascending slowly spiraling up and up and up Perhaps to heaven Breezes cascading unendingly Around this tiny blue jewel The shape of earth's breath A birdsong, the shape of a poem Flowing, of petals opening Of undulating saplings Their silver backs of leaves shining Like new flowers Wild rose perfume rising The shape of chimes singing a sigh, A whisper, a laugh.. wafting the breath of a blessed beloved Caressing,.. like love..
Do it, do it Hey, hey, hey Keep it funky, keep it funky when you're rocking with my crew To crown the dome I pop to Cooler Heads Distinguishing this king from all the other plebs I'm tryin' to cop that Scalloped Squid Stitch Cap Annie better have it, tell Mo I got the cash Next on my way I hit Jelonzo up, Homie always got the dopest threads Spendin' mad stacks, cop that jelly fresh swag Yeah, my pocket's a little lighter but this squid looks bad Check it out, whoah!
Now, straight from the ground, to the cupboard, then the pot Mama's potatoes came right from the farm In the soil they grew, under summer sun 'Til Mama dug them up, one by one She'd peel and she'd cut, let me tell you what Hours in the kitchen made me a starch nut Mashed and fried and scalloped and baked That bitch even made a mean potato pancake Mama, won't you feed me some taters With gravy or butter, nothing greater When hunger strikes, you know what I need Mama, won't you feed me some taters indeed Mama, won't you pass me those taters On my plate, not waitin' 'til later With every bite, my heart takes flight Mama, won't you feed me some taters tonight In Mama's hands, those taters were special She'd slice and she'd dice, releasing potential Solanum tuberosum, skip the fancy talk, all I know is I want some Mama's humble roots came from the ground Never complained about those tiny and browns Roasted and boiled and turned into a chowder Oh good lord, I gotta scream it louder Mama, won't you feed me some taters With gravy or butter, nothing greater When hunger strikes, you know what I need Mama, won't you feed me some taters indeed Mama, won't you pass me those taters On my plate, not waitin' 'til later With every bite, my heart takes flight Mama, won't you feed me some taters tonight With a sprinkle of salt and a dollop of cream Mama's taters are straight from my dreams They're never a side, with this reaction Mama's big taters are the main attraction Mama, won't you feed me some taters With gravy or butter, nothing greater When hunger strikes, you know what I need Mama, won't you feed me some taters indeed Mama, won't you pass me those taters On my plate, not waitin' 'til later With every bite, my heart takes flight Mama, won't you feed me some taters tonight
