Orpheus
See it? Out on the horizon ahead of us
Lightning dances across the sky like a wicked ballet dancer
While the thunder crawls outward from our chest
Listen to the ghosts crying out their wretched grief
Cold water on parched lips sighing
Barren wicked world slowly dying
For a taste of sweet relief
The world beneath us rumbles
Like a chrome engine roaring
Down abandoned interstate blacktop
Shimmering phantoms in the heat
Can’t you hear the orchestra playing
Your muse begging to be sung to?
Your rock N roll lover needing to be clung to?
Armageddon’s silverbacked dragon begins to roar
Feel that tremble, rock it gently
Sweet perfumes wafting in the window
Hells headbanging riff crescendos
Knocking on your bedroom door
And just like magic the shows over
Soaked and sated it rolls over
The song is sung the poem spoken
Leaving room for one drop more
But that’s Orpheus’ magic
Dancing daring desert lightning
Could be frightening if you’re easy
Throw your pistols out the door
Now we peel out tires screaming
Rocks jumping tires spitting
Fire flaring out of tailpipes
As you stomp it to the floor
Then we race on through til midnight
Chasing fire on the skyline
Rock N rolling devil dragons
Chase that muse straight on til dawn
