lyrics

We could begin in the usual fashion, with a little sardonic scientific observation
Classifying documents and souls according to habitat and chatter
We’ve fiddled our grasshopper helicopter cacophony to drown out the fires below
Carpet-bombing the last stuffed dodos in our memories
We’ve ignored the purple-feathered pigeons just beyond our supersenses
Cooing clarinets, quietly carrying out global recalibrations with resonant incantations
And yet the morse code tapping of the woodpeckers in our skeletons
Reminds us that only together do we hold the gilded key to new dimensions of creativity
Somewhere fireflies jive in semaphore a message to our mammal pores
And the mosquito-sized concerns we have of missing the great onward flight connection
Are swallowed by spirit-swifts circling the lake of time

We step out from the crumbling concrete of our skyscraper elevators
And boogie on down with those angelic alligators
We set our navigation dial to the tune of germination
With a healthy dose of holy hugs and voluptuous cultivation
We take that sacred quest for secret chalices and bodices and
Ruthlessly embody all our inner feathered goddesses
We plant the crazy seeds of treeline canopies
Where we can dance candid can-cans with the toucans and the pelicans

For Mama Gaia’s just warming-warning us so we can hatch anew
Yes, we’ve finally reached the deep bass camp of collective evolution
Can you feel that itching in the shoulder blades that says the time has come
To unleash those hidden human wings
So while the feral rhythms of the jungle night sound out in full-blooded applause
We become our own warm-blooded saviours
Pick up those kaleidoscopic binoculars that just flew into view
Now is the moment for a more magical magnification

Catch that eagle eddy arising in your belly
Soar and see the songlines in our bloodlines that we’ve just begun unravelling
Smell the whale-chorus in our salty wombs born from the ocean’s constant kisses
Taste the harmony a-brewing in our bodies’ melting-meeting as we
Leave our fears for desert compost
And become as trustworthy as migrating mountains
Follow the tornado concerto to the mystery’s pulsing heart
And fall as grateful raindrops into her thirsty arms
Trilling our trillions of melodies born in the dreams of ancient stars
And as we breathe the bounty rolling in our lilac-breasted beings
Her unabashed blessings will vibrate out from our softening core
Her ripening wisdom in our cells will mould passion-pollen palaces so that
With every carbonated feeling we release and every sensual stroke of oxygen we receive
We will hear and know we are the alpha and the Om of this planet we call home
