Trane Bird Hawk

I'm riding and flying into dimensions beyond the 3rd,
Sweet melodies and harmonies of rhythmic words.

They speak melodiously and deeply to my soul.
I'm riding and flying; I'm losing control.

No seatbelt to buckle into or even think of,
But I'm safe and feeling free, flying like a dove.

Above all pain 'cause Trane, Bird, and Hawk are soulfully saxing,
Sweet, harmonious melodies got me chillaxing.

Free! I'm so free,
And my mind's eye can see.

And my heart can feel,
I'm riding and flying into a peaceful surreal.
