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
