Funneled Stars


There are fingers that pick daydreams 
along the banks of this blue electric river.
Eels swim with it’s black-magic ballads 
attaching a powerful charge to the swell. 

Along the banks of this blue electric river 
bullfrogs and alligators provide a drum.
Attaching a powerful charge to the swell
the luminous melody gains its fine edge.

Bullfrogs and alligators provide a drum
chomping at the bit for the celestial.
The luminous melody gains its fine edge
as the intention gains traction to build.

Chomping at the bit for the celestial,
you’ll do almost anything to wield it. 
As the intention gains traction to build
mountains of stars swirl into a funnel.

You’ll do almost anything to wield it,
eels swim with it’s black-magic ballads.
Mountains of stars swirl into a funnel.
there are fingers that pick daydreams.
