Flaming Telepath's and Astronomy

Some of the most intriguing and explosive poems.. very brave, deep and difficult.

The construction of the song itself seems so natural with Eric Bloom's voice stirring up feelings stowed away since ages past. The way the synthesizer feeds into the piano and then into the guitar solo is just flat out perfection.

Well I've opened up my veins too many times

And the poison's in my heart and in my mind

Poison's in my bloodstream

Poison's in my pride

I'm after rebellion

I'll settle for lies

Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire

Imprisoned by the thoughts of what to do

Is it any wonder that my joke's an iron

And the joke's on you

Experiments that failed too many times

Transformations that were too hard to find

Yes I know the secrets of the iron and mind

They're trinity acts, a mineral fire

Yes I know the secrets of the circuitry mind

It's a flaming wonder telepath

--

Clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst 

Out at you from their hiding place 

Like acid and oil on a madman's face 

His reason tends to fly away 

Like lesser birds on the four winds 

Like silver scrapes in may 

And now the sand's become a crust 

Most of you have gone away 

Come susie dear, let's take a walk 

Just out there upon the beach 

I know you'll soon be married 

And you'll want to know where winds come from 

Well it's never said at all 

On the map that carrie reads 

Behind the clock back there you know 

At the four winds bar 

Four winds at the four winds bar 

Two doors locked and windows barred 

One door to let to take you in 

The other one just mirrors it 

Hellish glare and inference 

The other one's a duplicate 

The queenly flux, eternal light 

Or the light that never warms 

Yes the light that never, never warms 

Or the light that never 

Never warms 

The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst 

Out at you from their hiding place 

Miss carrie nurse and susie dear 

Would find themselves at four winds bar 

It's the nexus of the crisis 

And the origin of storms 

Just the place to hopelessly 

Encounter time and then came me 

Call me Desdinova 

Eternal light 

These gravely digs of mine 

Will surely prove a sight 

And don't forget my dog 

Fixed and consequent 

Astronomy...a star
