the blood that brought us from Ararat to the Alti,
a tribe trekking intrepidly through the Eurasian terrain,
caravans of Caucasians clad with Celtic tartan twills
plaids upon the pale horse...

Cyan, Magenta, Hunter green and Mauve, stained-glass
saints made free from...

A tranquil land, when the Earth was but few

I'd love to visit Holland
To wear those wooden shoes
Or maybe, down in Memphis
I'd learn to sing the blues

If I could learn the language
I'd love to visit France
I've heard it said that Paris
Is the place to...

You are cruel and stopped counting your treasons
You're respected Muslim nevertheless.

forever my queen

I ride the night train
like a vandal, restless
a certain night...

Once built an ark and put many aboard.
All the while as he prepared for the ark,
Having room for the large beasts to embark,
Sins of mankind were...

Noah loaded all, two-by-two
Ending up with a floating zoo

For forty days and forty nights
They drifted on, viewing the sights

With much lightning and thunder
High mountains soon went under

The Lord knew exactly where it was at
The Ark...
