To Young readers: For those between the ages of 17 to 29 this book is primarily for you. This is just another way of saying that I wrote the book for that age group. Of course if you are not of that age you can also read this book. It is true this is because the lyric/text/essay is about the future and a particular state of mind. It is written to inspire all readers and especially you and all generations ahead, so in that sense- it is a work of belief in your individual = health - wealth - wisdom, and for those that follow, in these footsteps. You will find in this lyric/text/essay - history, physics, innovative technologies; and a narrative about 5 team mates seeking duty assignment with the Public Works Brigades of the USA in 3210 AD, some thousand years in the future from publishing this first edition in 2016 AD. This is my, Krenshaw Harvest's contribution. You might want to skip through the book and just look at the numbers of your birthday like let say you were born 10/24/2000 then look at sections and lyrics 10 -- 24 and 20 (your special because the 00 is undecided). Or you might want to close the book now shake it in your hands and ask for your most important message for right now. Open it up randomly and point your finger at a section or a lyric. Fun stuff like that. Please. Do not take this too seriously. For this version of the future to become true many years may will pass. I Krenshaw Harvest, hope you find the story compelling. Good Luck reaching a future you can be proud of. And proud to lead with. We in 3210 AD are depending on you to make this vision a true story, as best you may, with grace, humor, and understanding.

Volume One

In Poetry and Verse. Lyrics from the 21 century to 1098 General Enlightenment and back again

This is an invitation to a water excursion

and all my friends and family are invited along.

This is an invitation to a water excursion

and all my friends and family are invited on board

Safety first, and nobody gets hurt

All are guaranteed to have a good time.

Captain Craig and Lady Jennifer Diane

are sure to arrive at quarter past five.

Miranda and Leo and Bruno Bourbon

Are sure to add spark at half past whenever

Christopher and Olivia, Peter and Gimba Boo

They are family, they come early to help set up

Many more too- after nine when all the fun begins

This is an invitation to a water excursion

and all my friends and family are invited along.

We will launch with: canoes, boards, kayaks, cruisers,

and

Anything that sails by wind, sea or tides

This is an invitation to a water excursion

and all my friends and family are invited aboard.

You are the top of the mountain,

You are the shinning diamond.

You caught my eye,

You kept it for a while,

Then you made me smile.

Just like the winners always do.

You must have been a beautiful baby.

You must have made Pop Daddy proud.

Held in the arms of your Mommy Mom,

and you know- She was taking care of you.

Both of them together.

This is an invitation to a water excursion and

all my friends and family are invited along.

This is an invitation to a water excursion

There is room for pets- dogs and birds, even penguins

Cats from home and alley, possums and twizzables,

Gimbas and Ricos, Lattle Punks and Scarlet Regents,

OOcaphants and Dibblely Dots, and Uprighters of all kinds.

This is an invitation to a water excursion

and all my friends and family are invited on board.

________________________________

Also I have embedded information

from and about from the story text in the

lyrics as a form of foreshadowing.

To sing these songs

just apply that each line of music takes the same amount of time,

the melody and tempo maybe different

but the amount of time remains

the same for each line separately.

For line that have few words,

this allows the band to play while the singer sings less,

or stretches out the vowels in the few words.

Conversely lines with many words,

each word is sung quickly.

Always follow the music as a singer,

give the band respect

and time

to be heard instrumentally

by the audience.

A suggested rule of thumb

is that the singer sing

less than half the

time of the completed song.

2. So we sang out our song

For the night brigade,

The ones that stayed awake and danced to dawn.

With red toed mittens and Lee Ann's kittens.

Joined at the altar, nothing else to carry on.

On the island of Majorca off the Spanish coast,

69 miles from the mainland.

We landed heavy down under,

It was not just the weather.

It was the raven's renegade.

It was the regent's rover.

They set this course.

Sharing moments, memories, and sailor songs.

Along the way.

Hail Bright Spirits!

All the members here and gone

So we sang out our song

For the night brigade

To see if we could stay awake

And make Monday a continuation of Sundae on a Sunday afternoon,

In the summer time it- light till after nine

But not all the time

Not now in November pressing hard on December 2015

With myself selected family

My Bo and Beloved Lady Jennifer Diane and her consort Captain Craig

We carried on through

To the light of day.

Miranda, Leo, Julia, Bruno and?

Who knows who?

Till the night went off on some unknown mission,

On the other side of the globe.

We are still awake and waiting in good cheer.

Hearty and Hail- How are you?

We sang out our song

For the night brigade.

We sang until life seemed over.

Why is the sun always heading west?

The raven wants to know.

Why, it is not the sun heading west

But the earth in its own turning.

Hail Bright Spirits!

We sang until life seemed over,

Only to turn night into day,

And start our song all over again.

We sang out our song

For the night brigade.

All hail bright spirits, of the night brigade

And let us remember our friends,

that went to bed

at the reasonable hour of three in the AM.

All hail bright spirits, on the occasion of the dawn

For we alone have made it,

all others are asleep and gone,

All hail bright spirits,

all others are asleep and gone off in dreams.

________________________________

The reason I am imbedding

text into the lyrics

is because I wrote the songs

in the same time period

I thought up the technological and societal solutions,

one would not have come without the other.

This mimics DNA and RNA

because DNA and RNA

are not very useful

without each other (at least to species like ours) the so called junk DNA is

the 98% of DNA that does not produce proteins directly, in humans.

3. Can't you hear that rooster crowing

From the distant galaxy to the closest star

I will promise you if you will promise me,

And we dreamed a little dream,

dreamed a little dream come true.

Can't you hear that rooster crowing

From the distant galaxy to the closest star

I will promise you,

High mountains with twisted paths,

Climbing trails, vistas and views.

And we dreamed a little dream,

Dreamed a little dream come true.

Can't you hear that rooster crowing

From the distant galaxy to the closest star

You will promise me,

A comfortable home

And all the joys a man can find in a woman

And we dreamed a little dream,

Dreamed a little dream come true.

Can't you hear that rooster crowing

From the distant galaxy to the closest star

4./4.

Where do I start?

Why not start with explaining that,

according to your timekeeping

the year is 3210 AD,

but since we reset our year to

January 1st, 2112 AD to 01 General Enlightenment

according to our notation

the year is now is 1098 General Enlightenment,

which corresponds to 3210 AD,

get it?

GE stands for General Enlightenment.

GE replaced AD by worldwide agreement in

2222 AD/110 General Enlightenment.

But we backdated our yearly calendar to

2112 AD for year one General Enlightenment.

What is next?

well my name is Krenshaw Harvest.

I just started my second real

non-intern job

as member of the

Public Works Brigades of the USA Team,

by real I mean not on a student work pass type thing,

but just for me and my self-selected team mates,

just seven months' after

Mother decided to pass on to another state,

she is probably in the cosmic jelly of the Omniverse.

At her last speech

Mom thought it was time to go

decided to check out of her body, all on her own, she told us so.

This was relatively early in her life.

It was a testament to her skill and control

over her appetite, water intake, and breathing.

She literally turned herself

off to induce passing.

She told me and Dad to carry on

with her mission

to bring change out of anger

and love out of misunderstanding.

She was very specific

in her intention

and this has had a deep impact on me ever since.

Not a day goes by

but something reminds me of her.

After all it was only 7 months ago

since she gave up her body

to the universe to transpose,

as the Omniverse sees fit.

5. When I was a young man

I traveled across the rolling land

Until my good Uncle Harold put me out to sea.

Put me out to sea for the life of a sailor

A hearty cabin boy.

My good Uncle Harold knew Captains,

Uncle Harold knew first mates,

Navigators, deck hands and sailing crews.

Sailing by the power of the wind,

The power of the tides and the currents.

The wind, tides, currents,

Stars, and charts, and tables,

These are the things we learned to depend,

Though steady winds,

Through calm and through dangerous storms.

Far from harbor,

Certainty, or port.

I did fondly recall my home port

Where Sexton Sadie

The young lass born next door

And she awaits for me.

Waits for me.

Keeps the home fires burning.

Candle in the window.

Till the cabin boy becomes man.

She promised she would be faithful,

Yet I don't know.

Who can tell through steady winds,

Through calm, and through dangerous storms.

She for me and I for her.

The young lass born next door.

Have you heard of James Joyce?

The famous English/Irish Poet

He wrote a book called Ulysses

It was set in Dublin -- June 16, 1916

Ask Nora Barnacle she is a character

In his book - Ulysses

James Joyce captured the sounds of the human mind

The endless mocking of the internal dialogue

899 pages worth - All set on one day

June 16, 1916

Stream of Consciousness as he called his writing style-

And it was, as James made it to be.

6./6.

This beautiful symphony of sorts.

Woven like a tapestry.

A tapestry for shore boys, girls with boards, both.

Both share a glance, a surf, a sun.

This beautiful symphony of sorts.

After years of waiting

Brian the brain.

Brain the brain eased the pain, the pressure.

This beautiful symphony of sorts.

Eased he did, released the spiritual energy,

Spiritual power, spiritual humor.

Brian laughed out loud,

Emily Bush joined right in.

They saw each other sixteen times

While four candles burned.

Four wax candles burned between them.

___________________________________

The second thing I want to make clear is that

the content of this file/record is not all of my own composition

rather it is from what all the children of

today have learned for thousands of years.

This information is like you learning stories

about ancient Egypt, or Greece, Rome, and so forth.

7. Gases and fluids under pressure can be measured two ways.

1. As units of work when calculating releasing that pressure.

2. As units of weight this can be used for structural members,

such as poles used in creating Ecosites sites.

The units of weight apply to what is held up by the poles.

Making the loadbearing multiples of

what the steel by itself can hold,

this is true below ground level

as much as above ground level when setting poles for Ecosites.

When the gases weigh less than the atmosphere

the gases can provide increasing amounts of buoyancy

as volume goes up and pressure goes down.

This applies to Ecosites and their platforms above ground.

Hydrogen weighs around 10% as much as the atmosphere.

An advantage we have is that

The area of membrane is measured by the square

while volume contained is measured in cubits.

X to the second power for area,

X to the third power with volume.

You see I was talking with Boomer McCord

He is commendable at what he does, but only half way,

He needs his hardware to make his magic work.

Stanley directed and directed well.

Take the anthill peons, count the names,

Count the ranks, count the numbers.

8. Elohim bless the working ones.

The ones getting all the working done.

They are not alone.

It may be boring,

It may repeat,

With time clock counting

And management overseeing.

Each in there rank and position

Elohim bless the working ones,

Ones who pay their taxes when they get their check,

Before they get paid. At least for a few more years.

Elohim bless the working ones,

The ones getting all the working done

They are not alone.

9. Genevieve our team leader......................>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This process took a lot of coding work to make happen,

as an example; I reviewed all the places and times the file/document could be sent.

The main hold-up was in the formatting.

This was complicated,

The way the words worked made

Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division easier,

Less abstract, more intuitive.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Baby.

Boom, boom, boom

Every life is a different story

Can you tell the difference between a child and a man?

10. It is important that people produce their own electricity

on earth and in space otherwise our species becomes an energy hog.

An analogy for this are children who are force feed by their parents.

They eat too much and exercise too little.

We as an economy have fallen into the same habit.

Human Assist Hydraulic power is the connection

in this analogy to having the children

grow food from the garden and raise livestock.

L11. Lost in a crowd.

Too many people

on the morning subway in Manhattan

By yourself but you knew where to go,

token in the slot, the turnstile

is allowed to turn,

The business day starts anew.

Each in our own

separate way

Got on that train to Bristol

Left London town,

At six pm sharp

From Victoria's Station near Summerset Garden

and the Queen's right hand

to the fingertips of the Duke

and chamber ladies too

and the chamber women to

take the train to Bristol and do not be slow

take the train to Bristol

last stop before the Canary Islands

Take the train to Bristol.

in end up in Jamaica, Kingston Town

the poet does not depend on rhyme

nor does the song need a verse

when the words are over flowing

and the sun begins to stake its claim

from a long time ago long time ago

A present for my 13th birthday I will not likely forget

Guitar and lessons at the rec center in the summer

when you are ready to move on.

ready to move on

L12. ______________________________

By 1098 General Enlightenment we found that the solution to business wear was

Not that women should dress more like men

Rather the opposite

That we all should dress more like women

Useless but amusing topics of conversation

Clothes that say money

And clothes to give away

Gases and fluids under pressure can be measured two ways.

1. As units of work when calculating releasing that pressure.

2. As units of weight

Hydraulic pressure relates to gases under pressure

in so far as that volume/pressure is measured in units of work.

Work that can be done by turbines

turning for electric generators, or drilling and pounding actions.

Think of the belt systems that drove the factories of the 17-19 centuries.

This distribution of kinetic energy

needs to be applied to our living spaces,

deep in space you cannot afford

one small meteor traveling at a great velocity

to tear through your space platform,

using the tire analogy, you could say that

space vessels need to be covered with a tire.

Pressurized gases simple absorb the shock

which would otherwise hit one small point of contact.

This equation includes: area of membrane,

volume of gases inside of membrane,

pressure of gases resisting impact

and velocity of vessel spin.

When the gases weigh less than the atmosphere

the gases can provide increasing amounts of buoyancy

This applies to Ecosites and their platforms above ground.

Hydrogen weighs around 10% of the atmosphere.

This is a mathematical advantage.

So victory is our winged one, so triumph is our guide

As we tip toe along the wall

Water falls in torrents, for one and all

Water falls in torrents.

L13. When we are out on the street we talk the way we want to talk

When we are out on the street we walk the way we want to walk

When Ian told Jan about Dara, Tara and Sue they had all been together

Dara, Tara, and Sue. Waiting for the Streetcar named Desire.

Dare, Tara, and Sue. I saw them - How about you? - Did you see them too?

L14. Knowing her like I do, if she is not here she is probably at home.

She is probably at home.

Who decided how love took a twisted course

When did you bring back vague memories

of songs of denial and songs on the radio, back in the day, old school way,

grinding the gears and listening to the WHFS - FM alternative station

90 minute music blocks- DC's hip white peoples radio 70's -- 80's -- 90's

Listening to a stream of songs.

Music by bands who's names who may never know

Because the listener was never told

First there was Cherry Kisses, then My Bloody Valentine, Jesus in Chains,

Joy Division. Television, XTC, U2, The Police, The B52's, Echo and the

Bunnymen, Gang of 4, REM, Helmet, Redbone, Grateful Dead, Blind Faith,

Eric Clapton, Traffic and Steve Windwood, Knights in White Satin, The

Moody Blues, Gone with the wind, 19th nervous breakdown again, Gloria

and Brown Eyed Woman, Sad Eyed Lady of the Low Lands, Yellow

Submarine, All You Need is Love, Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club

Band, Blonde on Blonde and Bringing it all back home, Dolly Parton and

Johnny Cash. John Barleycorn must die. There were moments like these, time spent

in each other's arms Rolling Stones across my bedroom singing out to

Bob Dylan, all tangled up in blues fighting in the sheets, getting

your mouth where you want to leaving it

all the talking behind deep in your throat

each and every time all those words left behind deep in your throat

L15. Let's spend all this good time together

As we carry on into the sun

Jimi Hendrix played electric guitar and so did Stevie Ray Vaughan

Listening to David Bowie on the Let's Dance album really turned me on

All that night in Alaska when bar stayed open so late

L16. Hold me close

don't let me go

There are too many things

we both know

About this love that comes and goes,

This love that grows and glows.

The strangest thing

I ever did see

Is a fire that burns inside of you and me

This love that comes and goes

This love grows and glows

From the top of the mountain

To the river side

We will run

But never hide

From a love that comes and goes

And a love that grows and glows.

It is like a spinning ball

Or a twirling top

Once it gets started

It never wants to stop

This love that comes and goes

This love that grows and glows

L17. We won't waste each other's time

We both been through all that before

At different places with different people

We won't waste each other's time

That's just not how we roll together.

That's just not something we do.

I don't pray to Street Legal Jesus

And Street Legal Jesus

Doesn't pray to me.

You don't call out to your sister Jenny

You don't bark at her dog named Sue

You just make sure everything is taken care of

In the silk way that you do.

We won't waste each other's time

That's just not how we roll together

That just not something we do.

L18. There is no place like no place at all

There is no home like no home at all

There is no money like no money at all

Is that a somewhere you have ever been?

But right now

We are rolling down that highway

Feel that wind

We got a lust for life

And a search for knowledge

A lust for life

And a thrust for knowledge

We are digging in, we're digging in

To the mother lode again, the mother lode again

Hear the echo of the wheels

As we roll down the canyon

There is no time like no time at all

There is no space like no space at all

Domesticated animals

And wild beast

What we share in common

Is a seat at the feast

But right now

We are rolling down the highway

Feel that wind.

We got a lust for life

And a search for knowledge

We got a lust for life

And a thrust for knowledge

We are digging in, we're digging in

To the mother lode again, the mother lode again

With an angular momentum

And a comic wind

They say it was a big bang

But I think it might have been

A big spin,

A big, big spin,

That got the game started again.

Run it till the night comes

Run down that highway

Do it with me.

And I will never let you down

And you will never let me go

Lifetime to lifetime

I hope we both know

But right now

We are rolling down the highway

Feel that wind

We got a lust for life

And a search for knowledge

We got a lust for life

And a thrust for knowledge

L19. I cannot explain the joining

between Tara and I except to call

upon our past lives together,

that is the only way that of our connection makes sense.

I have only had 3 past lives:

one as a water bottle,

which was recycled into a patch of skin on a robot's hand,

and I found out in that second life how important hands are.

The next lifetime I was a horse,

this is when Tara owned me,

but horses have hoofs instead of hands

and I missed the hands.

So this lifetime

I became a human being,

or just a Being, as we like to say.

She was born 47 minutes before the dawn

And ones like us. Have our own.

Special way. Of caring on.

When you are.

Born 47 minutes before dawn

L21. Words of love, between me and you,

Words of love, can you hear.

These words of love, from the very start,

Gently spoken ear to ear.

These words of love, will always be there

These words of love, that we share

As time flows by, please remember to recall

All these words, from heart to heart.

Even when the autumn leaves, begin to fall

Even if the winter winds, keep us apart

We will always have these words of love, and what they mean,

And what they will become, in our memories,

Of this perfect day, of when we finally came together.

And the occasion of our first touch, after waiting so long.

Ripe and full like the honey dew vine,

The orange tree, and the blackberry bush,

The summer squash, and the spreading oak.

Right now the world seems so simple

Right now the future shines up ahead

Please try to remember, how we feel, now so real,

Beginning with the wonder, and the laughter,

The Tea Ceremony, and the potter's wheel.

Words of love, spreading out like ripples

Words of love, cast in clay,

These words of love, set in ruby stone,

What they promise, will come to pass,

These words of love, will always be there

These words of love, that we share

L22. Who would have thought?

Who would have guessed?

At 4:04 AM in the morning,

At the end of a long ride.

Right you are Mrs. Richard

Say as much as you can, with as few words as you do.

The moon and the stars,

Are not half as bright,

As the street lamps shining down,

Over this parking lot tonight

Where we are taking a rest.

Right you are Mrs. Richard

Say as much as you can, with as few words as you do.

Well we left our home,

And we headed West

We made it this far,

You know it's for the best.

Right you are Mrs. Richard

Say as much as you can, with as few words as you do.

L23. Gravity's pull, gravity's rainbow,

Destination desire,

Sitting on the fire escape, with all the potted plants,

The alley cat, and the setting sun,

Exchange a side ward glance,

It started out just a back page story,

And then all of a sudden, it became the front page, headline news

We spill paint, we pick up the brush

We fill the canvas, is that not enough?

Pockets are for phones, wallets, and keys,

No one going to put a pocket over you or me.

Gravity's pull, Gravity's rainbow, destination desire,

We were all children once,

Children lost in the night forest,

Come up in this cave,

Where we will be safe and warm.

Gravity's pull, gravity's rainbow, destination desire.

just after one child was born

To do this was agreed to

by the mother and father in writing

Global Target: 4.137 Billion on the planet surface-

More in SpaceHome!

I will fill you up

You are a swimming pool

If you will cool me down

Because I am on fire

Gravity's pull, gravity's rainbow, destination desire.

You spread the Oracle cards, as you often do

You read the images, to feel through, what rings true.

You weave tales, that come to mind,

You look under stones, to see what you will find

Gravity's pull, gravity's rainbow, destination desire.

L24. /section 24.

So I sang to her the words on the screen;

"You can call me the harbinger,

the harbinger of the King,

sent by the General fighting at war.

Sent to give word of our great victory,

and the battles we had won,

but in the transport,

one of my guards was shot down with an arrow

and now lays died on the ground,

We cannot leave my little brother,

now in his death,

we must take his body with us,

all the way to the King's castle's keep.

In my mind's eye

I could see,

my brother's betrothed waiting at the gate,

for her lover to return,

even though he never could, not again,

now he was dead,

and I loved him as she loved him,

but it was different, she as women,

me as a friend and a brother."

We are going to get one thing done

We are going to carry one thing through

We going to take the boulder from our shoulder

And launch it into the heart of the Sun

We are going to get one thing done.

L25. Fate is a funny thing, it may not even exist.

Destiny is tricky, who knows if it even plays a hand

But the intellect cuts with the knife of distinction

And the slip slide slim brings a new situation

The beating of the hand drums, in the flickering light,

We get caught in a cloud of smoke, and stare into the fire

L26. Once upon a time is today,

We rattle our bones, and get on our way

Seeking comfort, seeking reward

Sometimes holding back, and sometimes pushing forward, pushing forward.

When evening comes, and we close our eyes, and we start to sleep,

Perchance all the wild creatures high up on the ridge,

They just live and say,

Once upon a time. Once upon a time is today.

Once upon a time is today

When to take, and when to give,

We are sailing in ship called Hope,

And the wind is filled with faith,

And we just travel all around this place, all around this place.

Some people claim the world is just black and white

All through the day and all through the night

But we look around and what do we see?

We see a world filled with colors, a world filled with colors.

When evening comes, and we close our eyes, and we start to sleep,

Per chance we dream, that once upon, we could find our way,

And I just say, that once upon a time. Once upon a time is today.

L27. Sweet daughter of amazing love,

You don't need a song writer just to sing you a song

You don't need a politician just to tell you right from wrong

Sweet daughter of amazing love

You don't need a book of philosophy, to set your spirit free,

You don't need a government, to guarantee you your liberty.

But all these things, have their place

In the running of the race,

Sweet daughter of amazing love

All these things have their place, in the running of the race.

In the end just let love save the day,

Love is clearer than a song writer, love is stronger than a politician,

Love is greater than a book of philosophy,

love is more than a government

Sweet daughter of amazing love

All these things have their place

In the running of the race

And if you want to find heaven look within

That is the close place to begin,

And if you want to find darkness

Darkness will walk by your side

It will guide you in the shadows and give you places to hide

Sweet daughter of amazing love

All these things have their place, in the running of the race,

And if you want to find heaven, just look within

It is the closest place to begin and let love save the day

Let love tear down the walls and be your trumpets call

And raise you up on the wings of grace

If you want to find heaven, just look within.

L28. Somber girl, sober girl,

Why are you sitting all by yourself in the corner of the room?

Is there anything I can do or say,

To make you change your mind and stay

Is there anything I can do or say

To lift the clouds and have your laughter fill the room?

Somber girl, sober girl

Tell me is there something from the past hanging over you?

I remember the night we met,

And we danced across the room

We called down the Angel eyes and the silver stars

Just as if we had danced a million time before

Somber girl, sober girl,

Shake off the heavy shadow, open up the satin window.

Somber girl, sober girl,

Come around to who you are, and let your laughter fill the room

Come around to who you are, and let your laughter fill the room

99.9 percent of my inspiration, I confess

for the policy and programs

I talk about in this poetry

Was inspired by

Quick explosive combustion

Of clear visuals

After many attempts

Fitting many competing groups

Into a network reflecting

Each with due consideration

I was never a constant

Experiencer of explosive combustion

It would come and go, year to year

That may explain why this narrative has been in the works

Since 1984 at an Easter Sunday brunch

So I talk about it just at parties

But I also think about it when alone

It is in many ways my main lone time topic

I pour into it all I learn through books

Non-fiction books are my other go to lone time occupation

History, Biograph, and Science in the thousands- gladly done.

L29. Dancing, dancing, dancing, on the head of a pin

When the heat goes up, when the beat takes off

Now and then again, dancing on the head of a spin

Inside the slipstream, we never let it stop, dancing on the head of a spin.

Let this be the night that we remember

How far can we take it? Take it again.

Music sweet music, how it talks to us in ways words never could

Music sweet music, how it carries us higher than eagles ever would

This what we share, music sweet music,

And happy, happy is the day

We take time away

And happy, happy is the day

We take time away

And let the world fade

Here we go, here we go again

Dancing on the end head of a spin

Dancing, dancing, dancing, on the head of a spin.

Now and then again, dancing on the head of a spin

Inside the slipstream, we never let it stop, dancing on the head of a spin.

L30. She said; "Take me down to the river

where the water goes.

And come pick me up soon.

Come pick me up soon."

Then I told her right back;

"I will come get you in my Gun-metal blue,

convertible Cadillac.

With the leather upholstery,

and the big bass speakers In the back."

She said; "Take me down to the river

Where the water goes.

We will take the power boat out to Turtle Island

We all our friends for the night are gathered

We play music around the open fire

Under a full moon

So come and pick me up soon.

Come and pick me up soon.

I told her; "OK let me cut this telephone.

Good - bye I will see you later,

I will come and pick you up soon.

Come and pick you up soon.

where the water goes.

And come pick me up soon.

Come pick me up soon."

L31. All day long, we think about it.

Then at night we say it;

"Into this world we turning,

Into this life we burning."

Who says these words from our mouths

who looks through our eyes.

We all come from a large family

Six or seven billion

Living here on this earth, just at this time of birth.

(Who needs enemies anyway?)

Our drunkenness started at another tavern

Right now we are two birds flight

We might even fly to another continent

But we won't do it by ourselves

We will do it with someone else.
