You could be the president and pop that
Pop that
Enter the establihment and warn that
Warn that
Take that give it up
Take that give it up
Take that give it up
I was a young boy
From the suburbs
Playing with gun toys
In an old church
Question how I learned to see
Angels in the skies
Was it the calm voice
From the outskirts
Was it the clear voice
Through the whispers
Contemplative misery
Angelic demise
You could be the president
Now pop that pop that
Enter the establihment to warn that
Warn that
Take that give it up
Take that give it up
Take that give it up
Take that give it up
It was a young day
In an old world
Digital Pompeii
And I am a squeen girl
Question how I learned to see
Beyond the disguise
You could be the president
Now pop that pop that
Enter the establihment to warn that
Warn that
Take that give it up
Take that give it up
Take that give it up
Take that give it up
You could be the president and pop that
Pop that
Enter the establihment and warn that
Warn that
Take that give it up
Take that give it up
Take that give it up
Take that give it up
Take that give it up
Presidential presidential
Let's make this day complete
I rose to find the setting sun beneath my feet
And as I stepped beyond that stone and
It stayed in its place
I felt a new warmth taking shape from
Deep in hidden space
I do not breathe the same
My chest is a cathedral
My ribcage frames stained glass
The story on each panel says
New suns are rising fast
And my means have more precision and
My needs are fueled by waste
And I'm channeling an alchemy that
Smells just like it tastes
And the depths that I am reaching are the heights
That I've foreseen
And the people give to nature
What was taken from the seed
And the children slowly gathered
None of them had ever seen
None of them haved dared imagine
How their lives look from a dream
There's no other way around this
It's internal buried deep
Beneath labyrinthine thought tunnels
Where the questions pile in heaps
Heaped upon that is a mystery
Heaped upon that is a plan
Heaped upon that
The simplicity of a river through the land
And the cows around that river
Do not graze into the sea
They are inland bred and treasured
Through their own complicity
And the answers are apparent
Difference is all the same
I'm a whale of deepest regions
Where the ocean floor's aflame
And the source of this great fire is internal
Buried deep
The blood of stars configure in volcanic memory
They push beyond the surface
They push upward and out
From the depths of our great sorrows
To the pucker of a mouth
Kiss kiss kiss
Another century
Kiss kiss kiss
Another year
Kiss kiss kiss
Another speech
He's kissed kissed kissed
To disappear
And we've kissed across a threshold
To our present state of mind
Where our feelings fry from memories
That rest behind the eye
And our dreams are deep polluted
By such tragedies of wealth
And the fish forget they're swimming and
Their fins morph into tails
And the truth like evolution is evolving as it fails
To keep up with the demands of
This modern space and sea
And the skyline of this city are the wills
We used to be
And I feel these kids around me as
I'm perched on sandy shore
And they're touching me and asking me if
I'd like some water or if I'm already dead
So I open up my eye and
I'm staring through an arid wind at a
White whale's in the sky
And I notice how they are floating and
I wonder if they see
Distant cousins in the world beneath
Where skies are very deep
