Heaven In the Sun

There is a strange cool breeze blowing from the East and it is telling me that the journey is complete.I have to put on my Sunday best before I journey to the West. The strange sun heat is circulating around the galaxy with a message that makes me feel extremely unhappy It is crossing from border to border and it is creating a mysterious disorder.The beaches are getting hot and the sun is burning their backs.There is no need to go to the beach you can get a tan before the day is complete I just wonder what is going on in the air, something is happening that is causing me to fear The sun is falling, the heat is raising and the people are swearing Hot backs, hot frocks, and hot stockings hanging on the door steps. The people are moving about, and they began to shout You can hear the agony in their voices And the broken melody when they sart to sing, they are standing on the bridges And they are crying out for mankind's sin The futile tale of the banana boat lining upon The shore while the scorching heat is tearing up its sails before they cross the rails.It batters against the wind, with broken sails held together by six inches nails, cords and strings wraped around them while destiny creeps slowly around the bend. The sky stands still and the heavens crys and forward a woeful sigh.The seagulls have Disappeared and the mountain stand bare with a rythm that is very hard to imagine They tell me to dance before daylight goes out They tell me to dance before the ocean starts to shout they say to dance when you are in doubt The sun heat is creating havock in the street And the traffic is creating a miserable sound and black birds in the trees are dancing around to the honking horns and chaos in the street The trees are perishing in the heat and the Fish are burning up in the sea, the dessert sun is getting stronger and the universe is getting bigger Heaven is weaping around the corner and the open river bed is waiting patiently for mercy To fall into its woeful gut. The heaven is wrapped up into the sun And the villian is on the run.
