He’s known for talking,
Even walking in his sleep,
It can be disturbing,
To say the least.
Nothing prophetic,
Just pathetic moans and groans,
Grating his tongue,
On some cosmic vibrating telephone.
Dancing the limbo,
Under the white sheets,
Beneath the Moon,
His late night libido, Unbeknownst to me, Must me be pursued.
So I swallowed down,
My pride and his,
Kept my mouth shut,
Blessed amnesia,
Pours anesthesia into the cut.
De la saint de of the la ah saint de of the la!
He had the same DNA as me,
He made it known,
Souls can get lost,
Even in the safety,
Of their own homes.
Well my soul did flee
From thee and my invaded temple,
Until the Shaman,
Called it back in,
Mending up my soul.
Where his Spirit crept,
Was now just an empty bag of bones,
I called in the great Angel of Rain,
To bless my new home.
She said “If you want me
Come and unlock me,
On your own,
You open up real wide,
You let me deep inside,
Right when the sky explodes.”
Into your gaping mouth,
A rain-soaked rainbow grounds,
Re-baptized from your crown,
Way down to your bowels.
And then I pissed out all his sins,
And blew him a kiss into the wind.
You’ll never know,
Until you know,
How good it feels,
To have your innocence revealed.
Cause his Spirit crept,
Through my bowels and breasts, All through the years,
Until I was met,
All soaking wet,
In her rainbow tears.
So if someone steals,
Your light away, Call upon the saint of rain,
She’s there to dress,
Your naked pain.
Then I hear myself shout,
“Let the rainbow out!”
And as my lips touched God’s,
She threw down lightning rods.
De La Saint,
De of the La Ah Saint,
De of the La.
