Jupiter Laughs
The world is a storm, like a hurricane.
It tears down our hope
And showers down pain
There’s floods filled with fear
And cyclones of shame
The fire it burns
And it chars our name
So I fantasize through sinister skies
Of Celestial smiles, Sagittarius child
andromadus dances,
constellation romances
And galaxies wave like the sea
Planets rejoice, ethereal voice
Jupiter laughs when he sees
Jupiter laughs when he sees
— - -
When it all seems too much
And I just can’t ignore
The devil that’s knocking down on my door
I close my eyes and I visualize
A world that is gentle and heart that is kind
— - -
I close my eyes once more just for sure,
The world still a storm,
With its twists and its turns.
The air here is sour with envy and power
I fight the moon everyday every hour
So I fantasize of freckle-faced nights
wrinkles in time and novas sublime
Sweet wanderlust, sleepy star-dust
And comets that flutter with ease
Leo recites his poems of light
Jupiter laughs when he sees
Jupiter laughs when he sees
— - -
When it all seems too much
And I just can’t ignore
The devil that’s knocking down on my door
I close my eyes and I visualize
A world that is gentle and heart that is kind
