The Song of the Sea Goat
      Download Free Track

      The sea goat casts Aquarian runes through beads of
          mirrored tears,
      Suave pirates words of apricot crawl out of your veneer
      Anoint your eyes with Midas' oil and make it still appear
      Alladin's lamp is glowing bright transmuting panacea;
      To fill your souls with sugared holes.
      "Oh can't you hear" sang the sea goat "the nonsense
          makes me numb."
      "It's near it's clear" sang the sea goat "we live to
          overcome,
      The madman's voice and his nowhere choice,
      The pain that drains like an endless day of rain."

      The sea goat reads the flight of birds and writes upon the
          sand;
      Gold waterfalls of autumn wheat slip through a pointing
          hand
      Whose fingers stiff with sentences still beckon to the
          band
      To play the "Best Foot Forward March" and deafen all
          the land.
      With hollow words, it's so absurd!
      "Take your stand" sang the sea goat "the night goes on
          and on."
      "Unwrap your plans" sang the sea goat "tell everyone
          you've gone
      To touch the earth and to see the birth
      The smile, the style down an unspun mile of life."

      It fills the air! It fills the air!
      The song of the sea goat shaking in the domes
      The song of the sea goat as endlessly he roams,
      Between the sunset's crimson veil
      On smooth grey streets where the drunkard spins his
          tale.

      The sea goat sips and hurls his glass along the
          smoke-filled road
      Where shuttered snakes of brakeless trains run aching
          with their load
      Of spring-eyed, tonguetied, wooldyed lads who kiss the
          L-shaped goad
      Which soon will smear their uniforms with blood,
          whitewash & woad.
      Damn iron minded, gold braid blinded, officers and
          gentlemen!
      "God!" sang the sea goat "is always on both sides."
      "Change" sang the sea goat "is constant as the tides
      "And this play" sang the sea goat "is strangely
          synthesised
      When your part of a cast where the first comes last
      Where the east goes west and the sun is burning out

      And your part of a cast . . . . . ."
